I was recommended The Women because I liked A Woman's Face (with it being directed by George Cukor and having Joan Crawford in the cast).
Like A Woman's Face, the film doesn't get to be the best it can be because of the Hays Code. Unlike A Woman's Face, the heteronormativity seeps throughout the film, instead of being concentrated in the ending. Mary dear, I know you still love him and you have a child together and she hates her new stepmother, but your ex-man sucks.
But wow, the performances are top-notch. Seriously. And the dialogue is cracking. "But Sci, it's all women being horrible to eachother!" But I love it. "She did NOT just say THAT!", I kept shouting to the TV. Hollering. Guess I'm a closeted drama fan lol.
I was not expecting a colour sequence! There's a bit in which the friend group goes to a fashion show and it's exploding in colour! It was lovely!
