User Reviews

A powerful and inspiring movie

This is a movie that everybody, not just women, should watch. It teaches how common people, armed mainly with their will and determination, can positively affect society and contribute to changes in everyone's view of the world. We all are too influenced by the traditional, monotheistic religions and their misogynistic and oppressive agenda. The courageous women in this movie show to all that something can and should be done to affirm the beauty of our bodies and the ugliness of repression and inhibition. I can only assume that the low ratings that appear in IMDb come from people who hate the message that this movie want to communicate. This is a very uplifting story: don't be influenced by some bigots. Give this movie a chance and it will not disappoint you.
