"8 Women" brings together the best actresses of the three generations of French, old, middle and young, and deduces a suspenseful story with only women. The romantic French wouldn't treat such an Agatha Christie-esque story as a horror movie, though. Although the suspense is repeated, the unexpected events are endless, and the ladies sometimes even fight together, but the light singing and dancing of the 8 actresses interspersed among them makes the film have a surreal expression. Maybe it's because the director doesn't want to tell a story about murder at all, or it's not a murder in the physical sense, but a murder in life. In fact, the victims are not the dead alone, and those who are alive cannot escape. Unlike other female-themed films, such as "The Moment of the Time" and "Crazy Flowers", although they are mainly female, there are still male foils. In this film, François Ozon, a gay male director, simply abandoned all male actors, and the only one that appeared was just a back, more like a prop. Throughout the film, however, male influence is omnipresent, contained within everyone's secrets.

Not logically rigorous? Is the plot too absurd? What the director cares about is not this at all, what he cares about is digging the abyss of humanity behind everyone.

It's cheating for Ozen to throw a national treasure-level beauty on the screen so naked! How can people calmly analyze logic? Please, who cares if that man is dead or not! Watching beautiful people sing and dance is the most important thing! Fortunately, Xi Fat did not make this film. In addition, grandma Danielle Darrieux is really beautiful for a lifetime.

Louise: She
[Pierrette]
Louise: asked me to keep quiet and gave me 10,000 francs.
Pierrette: Which I regret, you hussy.
Louise: What?
Pierrette: Everyone knows you sleep around.
Louise: You know, since we sleep with the same ones, let me explain the bribe. I overheard you say to Monsieur, "Give me the money or you'll die."
Pierrette: No I said, "I'll die."
Louise: No, "You'll die."
Pierrette: My poor Louise! Your word is no good, you're just a maid.
Louise: Nor is yours. You're just a whore.
Pierrette: Which I prefer.
