What the film lacks in specificity and interest in taking sides, it makes up for in style, authentic emotion, and terrific performances.

So the interrogative title is left to hover over the ending, as it does over all those tension-filled places near and far. Speaking as a foolish man, I had high hopes for these wise women – given the historic alternative, I still do.

The plot is really good and interesting it focuses on serious problems, the acting is truthful and inspiring, the scenes are chilling and great, but after a second watch, I decided it has some few flaws that makes a minus to it's score, such as some boring scenes and an inconvenienced scenes, but overall it is a great watch and a funny one too!
