    I like movies where everything is connected. I really wanted to know more about how they were each connected with the woman who committed suicide.

    Exceptional film with six separate stories of women and various crisis they are faced with. All the performances are excellent, particularly Glenn Close and Holly Hunter. Very well written, totally interesting, well directed and fascinating.
