Except for Mary (portrayed excellently by Da’Vine Joy Randolph), it’s challenging to appreciate the other rather despicable characters. Although they are presented as flawed but endearing, they come across as unlikable or ‘assholish’. Having unlikable characters isn’t an issue, but it becomes problematic when it’s clear that this wasn’t the writer’s intention.

The beautiful Alpine locations and sets are essentially the only redeeming aspects of this otherwise overly convoluted movie.

Although it overuses some gags to the point of repetition, this unbelievably cartoonish silent comedy still provides several good laughs.

The mix of Python-esque animation, simplified costumes, funny action, and over-the-top acting come together to create an unconventional and unusual cocktail that is really enjoyable.

The film has several visually stunning highpoints, accompanied by a tremendous bluesy soundtrack and score by the late great Robbie Robertson.

This film provides a brutally honest and empathetic look into the psychological and physical struggles that women of all sorts face with their bodies.
