Trivia

Most of the dialogue was improvised by the cast, who were given extraordinary creative control over their own characters, even drawing straws to determine which of their characters would die in the story. Director Linda Yellen said, "I never believed this would be accepted commercially." Co-star Jill Eikenberry said filming was like a "week-long therapy session."

User Reviews

Sensitive, intelligent and truly moving.

When you first start watching it you don't know how great it's gonna get. The friendship of seven women who loved and cared for each other despite of all their flaws and defects. It deals with important issues as sex, treason and homosexuality without prejudice, but with sensitivity and love.
