Greenaway's film is about making people's jaws drop.

Philadelphia InquirerSteven Rea
8 1/2 Women is a collage-y, self-reflexive sort of film that is designed to shock but more often just annoys.

This anti-narrative screwball comedy, a sort of police-drama re-enactment of Fellini's themes in "8 1/2," keeps most of the jokes off-screen. Read full review

TNT RoughCutAndy Klein
Inert, unfunny, and not even interesting as a dirty movie, 8 1/2 Women could well rank as one of the worst films of the year.
