About This Movie

Ten Women (1987) dives into the lives of nine distinct women who each navigate their own complexities and choices, culminating in various criminal acts. The film's tone is one of gritty realism, capturing the struggles and motivations behind their actions without judgment. It doesn’t shy away from exploring darker themes like desperation and rebellion, which makes the character arcs feel authentic. The pacing has a somewhat languid rhythm, allowing for deeper exploration into each woman's backstory—some might find it meandering, but it adds to the contemplative atmosphere. Performances are raw and compelling, with a palpable chemistry among the cast that hints at shared experiences. It's a lesser-known gem, but there's something captivating about its unvarnished portrayal of women on the edge.
