The Women's Room (1980)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I watched this movie decades ago in the USA and now it's no where to be found. This is a really good movie, and Lee Remick is excellent in it. I remember when the book came out I think it was in the 1970s and I was in high school and everybody had that book. It had to be a best seller. The movie is so true to life. I wonder now why this movie appears to have been taken off the market? It is no where to be found, and I've been searching for this movie for years.

With such talents as Patty Duke Astin, Lee Remick, Colleen Dewhurst, Tyne Daly, Mare Winningham and more in one single film, how can one go wrong?This is an excellent story of Mira (Remick) as she experiences being a wife and mother from the 1950s, through the 70s. Outstanding performances all around. Astin and Dewhurst were both up for supporting Emmys. Just watch as Astin has her final scene, where she is telling Remick what it was like to be locked up in a nut house. Powerful stuff and acting does not get any better than this.Remick, who was unjustly overlooked for a nomination, hasn't been better since Days of Wine and Roses. She carries the picture very well.A Pre-Cagney & Lacy Tyne Daly also does some of her best work in this film.Please ignore the comments by the first reviewer. This is NOT a man-hating movie! I am a man and was not one bit offended by anything in the story.This is not available on video, so try to catch it next time it is on Lifetime!

I LOVE THIS MOVIE. I watch it every time I see that it's going to be on. I cannot fully explain it. Sure its a hackneyed plot done in that late 70's cheesy made-for-tv fashion but-dare I say it- that only adds to its allure for me. Something in its predictability and familiarity is reassuring. Go figure. I think that it all boils down to the fact that it is your basic LIFETIME KIND OF CHICK FLICK. Not to mention that Lee and Colleen are just fantastic.

If your idea of a good time is to watch a movie about a group of women p***ing and moaning about men, this is your film. One of their complaints is that men simply cannot aim properly in the bathroom.
