Tigresses of the Menopause

About This Movie

Tigresses of the Menopause is an intriguing dive into the often-avoided subject of menopause, wrapped in a tragic farce format. Elżbieta Jodłowska, who penned the play Climacterium i już, really takes you through the rollercoaster of emotions that come with this phase of life. It’s infused with a mix of humor and melancholy, striking a unique balance that resonates. The pacing can be a bit erratic, which mirrors the chaotic nature of the themes - hot flashes, forgetfulness, those oh-so-fun skin spots. The songs and dance numbers add an unexpected layer, providing some levity amidst the serious undertones. Performances are heartfelt, like a raw glimpse into the shared experiences of many women. Definitely a distinctive work.
