7 donne e un mistero

Now after 15 minutes I was starting to 'switch off' but then I really became absorbed in this sweet, whimsical and entertaining film. Beautiful costumes and scenes with plenty of vibrant colour which enhance this comical film. The plot has a twist and all characters are very well cast indeed. The acting was good and the story moved along at a good pace.

Grandma was my favorite character, and I had quite a few suspects in mind, none of which were correct. I thoroughly enjoyed it, it was funny in parts but not too much that it spoilt the plot.

Thank you and well done to all!! Definitely NOT a 5.

I was enjoying the movie. A cozy whodunit, with beautiful style. Cinematography, costume, setting, all beautiful. I guessed the culprit (or reduced it to 2) quite easily but I have seen "8 femmes", the French movie that inspired this one and, even if I do not completely remember it, I had an idea of what was going on.

Still, the actual ending makes no sense. No, no, no. It was irritating as hell to see that. It ruined which could have been a 9/10 movie. Now it is 6.5 for me, I rounded it to 6.

I do not have more to say but I need to reach the minimum of characters. Sorry for this silly line.

I like whodunits and was enjoying this movie, but the conclusion I found terrible. I think the idea was to do a funny ending, but it was neither funny or makes sense to the story.

As a comedy I didn't find very funny, but, aside from the ending, it was an enjoyable watch. The passing is good and the movie has a nice length.

The actress do a good job with what they got from the script. The cinematography is very good and together with the sound make a very good atmosphere to this movie.

I gave this a 4.7 / 10. The script is not the strongest, but the only big flaw is its ending, but despite that, it was an enjoyable ride to me, minus the end of course.

Nice try but there is a much better version, a French film 8 Femmes with absolutely stellar cast including Catherine Deneuve, Fannie Ardan, and other stars. The French film also included charming dances and songs for every female character.

However, the Italian version was not bad at all, with beautiful winter scenery and homely Christmas interior. Maybe too much farce and comic elements and to few drama to make it truly great, also lack of real crime moments in the plot made the film little bit shallow and more like a theatrical comedy than difficult family drama. I also wished less colourful but more truthful, more developed characters, as there was plenty of possibilities for this.

First things first this is a farce of a film and sometimes they can be truly annoying. Luckily this has a two things going for it, a : the film is truly beautiful to watch, and b: the cast are top notch. Susanna (DiSana Del Bufalo) arrives at the family house for Christmas. Also at the house are her mum and dad, gran, aunt, sister and the new maid. Soon the maid finds the father dead, stabbed in the back. Is the murderer still in the house, they all start blaming each other and they all seem to have motives. Some great performance in this film, including Sabrina Impacciatore as the mousy Aunt Agostina and Luisa Ranieri as the maid Maria. Great ending too.
