Review:
Don't be fooled by the many well-known names in the cast or the assumption that Clare Booth Luce's comedy is some kind of feminist classic; The Women is a dismaying experience, less for its comic misogyny than for its parade of really bad performances, from the intolerable (Heather Matarazzo) to the merely desperate (Jennifer Coolidge, Jennifer Tilly). Cynthia Nixon, as noble Mary, emerges unscathed, but it is the treasurable Mary Louise Wilson, all class and clarity as Mrs. Morehead, who truly shows what might have been.
