Critic Reviews

The only character we get to know fully as she evolves from child to older woman is Vivi. Too bad the movie didn't also trace the lives of her "sisters." That might have been divine.Full Review

Claudia Puig
USA Today

There's death, domestic violence, alcoholism, racism, attempted suicide, and a mental breakdown. Naturally, it's a comedy about the eccentricities of Southern women.Full Review

Renee Graham
Boston Globe

As a rich, gum-chewing matron who tools around in her canary-yellow Rolls-Royce, Flanagan is the picture's real scene-stealer.Full Review

Todd McCarthy
Variety

This is a work of excess and passion, an untidy sprawl of a motion picture that is sometimes ragged, occasionally uncertain, but -- and this is what's important -- always warm, accessible and rich in emotional life.Full Review

Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times

The movie finally comes together into something that is genuinely -- and almost quietly -- stirring.Full Review
