Plot
Over three seasons, seven friends gets together at a cabin in the Colorado Rockies to connect, grow and cope with life.
Cast
Production
Inspired by Christa Wolf's, Cassandra, Yellen said she originally conceived of "Chantilly Lace" because of the preponderance of "incomplete roles for women, who are sketched instead of developed" in the movie business. She further developed it at the Sundance Film Institute, while Showtime provided production financing.
Yellen worked from a 40-page outline — instead of a screenplay — to extract improvisation from her performers.
The film, often compared to The Big Chill, was shot over eight days.
Themes
The Sundance director of feature film, Michelle Satter, said the film explores the landscape of contemporary women’s issues with humor and honesty 'unlike any American film' that she had seen.
Response
Ken Tucker wrote, for Entertainment Weekly, that the film was "the only kind of feminist slant that gets much exposure on television: well-to-do white women grousing about horrible men and about their mostly unfulfilled needs to be creative."
However, the film was well received by audiences. On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a rating of 93% audience score, based on 74 reviews. On IMDB, the film has a 6.2 audience rating out of 10.
