Three Women
What's the Story?
In THREE WOMEN a young female reporter (Shailene Woodley) documents the intimate sexual and relational experiences of three women (Betty Gilpin, DeWanda Wise, and Gabrielle Creevy), examining their personal journeys of sexual and emotional discovery.
Is It Any Good?
This adaptation is full of powerful, nuanced performances as women navigate complex sexual and personal experiences. Three Women serves up an unflinching, raw exploration of female sexuality that challenges traditional narratives, but its graphic content may be overwhelming for many viewers. Nearly everything is sexualized, keeping the audience in a state of uncomfortable tension that makes the viewing experience less than pleasant.
