    5.5/10. I was not impressed with Michelle Williams performance, but Anna Friel was very good. The movie lacks substance and the direction to draw the viewer into the characters. It just scratches the surface of the story. Tends to be slow moving at times.

    A dismal film. The plot was full of implausible twists, involving crassly-drawn characters and dialogue that made me cringe. Actresses of the calibre of Anna Friel and Michelle Williams deserve much more than ths contrived mess.

    I found this movie to be intriguing at first, but as it progressed I began to lose interest. The plot was too predictable and it was agonizing to watch these girls struggle to remain true to one another.

    I love this movie... the story and the acting are great. and somehow the lack of perfection makes it perfect.

    Excellent acting, real though gross characters, very good soundtrack, good pacing as the girls move through life, too soap-opera-ish.

  1. A chick movie? Well, yes, but it's a whole lot cooler than that one with the "Ya-Ya's" in the title.

    Rich, finely judged, gorgeously acted movie.
  3. Under its drab contemporary trappings, the movie, is really a Jane Austen-like moral parable in which goodness is rewarded and selfishness punished.
