A warm, sharply written feminist dramedy anchored by three excellent lead performances; smartly balances humor and social commentary despite some dated elements.
The "Extra Quality" of this narrative is its refusal to make the women "perfect victims." They are messy, terrified, and prone to bickering, yet they find a that transcends their differences. The film concludes not with the destruction of men, but with the assertion of boundaries . It suggests that for a woman to find peace, she must sometimes be willing to "break the machine" that tries to grind her down.
