One of THE best chick flicks ever! Laughter, tears and love. This movie explores all aspects of female friendships. I highly recommend this movie for your next girlsnight get together!
Viewer Reviews
I can understand why someone named "Ramrod" wouldn't like this film. It could be seen as indulging the worst of the late 20th century therapeutic movement. Very woman-centered, very emotional. Yet that's what's great about it.
It captures a time beautifully, a time when the blush of second wave feminism had worn off and it was a given that women were out there, having careers, showing their competence in the wider world. Yet we still had emotional lives to tend to, we still had to negotiate relationships with men in a world that had changed, we still needed to come to terms with the parts of ourselves that didn't fit the template our culture had set out for us.
This film was lovely in its evocation of a quiet retreat from all that to a space in which these women could be restored by nature, get all the hugs they needed and air out issues that poison if left under cover.
I had a group of friends similar to these women back then, and I wouldn't be who I am now if not for them. I found myself identifying with first one, then another, wondering how I'd fit in. Knowing that somehow, I would.
This is a small film that's going to be increasingly unavailable. If you've ever known the healing power of a group of good women, or if you'd like to know what that kind of deep friendship is like, you need to see Chantilly Lace.
