Reception edit
The film has been described as a "blantantly commercial venture in four episodes".[5] An "episodic comedy",[6] it is described as a "caustic satire of Italian masculinity" and Wertmüller's only truly Feminist film.[1][6] It has been described as a "populist farce based on a showy yet tame feminism."[7]
