Leave your thoughts about Mad Women.
| New York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinI like the movie, though. It forced me to rethink the way sexual desire saturates everything, along with extreme vulnerability of children. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferBold and well-acted, but undercooked, lackluster and overlong. It ultimately bites off more than it can chew. |
| Village VoiceSerena DonadoniThe biggest problem in Lipsky's scattershot narrative is situational ethics. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshMad Women is punishingly dull and apparently aimless, without any real conflict driving the story, just confounding and ridiculous interactions among the characters. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyThe plot of Mad Women is ridiculous, unmotivated and "shocking," but that wouldn't be an issue at all if there had been some attempt at style, or mood, or a point of view. |
| New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThis film overstays its welcome and has pacing problems. But its eclectic characters certainly linger. |
| New York Daily NewsKatherine PushkarIt’s a good thing writer-director Jeff Lipsky is a film distributor in real life. He’s his own best hope for getting this dreck out there. |
