    Exquisite rendering of female friendship and love

    I first saw this in 1993 when it had just been released on video. Since then, my obsessive tendencies have lead me to see this film upwards of 100 times. I now own it, because I wore out my local video store's copy. The actresses have created something truly special in their vignettes about love, life and death. My hat is off to them all.

    I thought it was excellent

    I saw this movie with one of my best friends, years back and we both still talk about it to this day. An unexpected twist really sent us in an uproar. We laughed and cried together and never expected that this movie would be one of our favorites to this day. I did not know that most of the work was improved, and I really didn't care. Definitely a chick-flick. Girls, I highly recommend watching this with your best friend...better yet get your group of closest friends together and you will see how similar things are in your life. There are many characters in this movie that can equal the women closest to you in your life and you never know what is going to happen. I thought the stories were original and thought provoking. Definitely a must-see for any woman who has had a close friendship with their sister or a girlfriend. So, a must-see for all! Oh, and don't forget the Kleenex!

    Talented women, in front of and behind the camera.

    This was a great movie I saw on Showtime. It had a great ensemble cast that , I heard, did a lot of improv on the set. It was an interesting movie and I would recommend it to any woman, or any man that wants to understand women better. Loved it!

    Moving, entertaining, powerful

    This movie was one of the most powerful films that I have seen in years. It teaches us all how to look at our relationships and friendships. I hope that when I revisit my youth, I have a group of friends as loyal and fun as this group of exceptional women. This movie made me call a friend I haven't talked to in years and rekindle the relationship. Rent this movie, pop some popcorn and watch it with your nearest and dearest!

    Linda Yellen could NOT do what Francis Ford Coppola did with Apocalypse Now

    Coppola explains that towards the end of the production of Apocalypse Now he was forced to improvise many of his shots, and the end product shows his success. However, Linda Yellen fails to make this movie work. The lack of close-ups makes this movie drag on and on and her shot improvisation is painfully obvious. My final thought - spend the money for the steadycam!!

    • Trivia
      Most of the dialogue was improvised by the cast, who were given extraordinary creative control over their own characters, even drawing straws to determine which of their characters would die in the story. Director Linda Yellen said, "I never believed this would be accepted commercially." Co-star Jill Eikenberry said filming was like a "week-long therapy session."
