Reception

edit

The film has a 0 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 7 reviews.[3]

Sheila O'Malley of RogerEbert.com awarded the film half a star and wrote, "The plot of Mad Women is ridiculous, unmotivated and "shocking," but that wouldn't be an issue at all if there had been some attempt at style, or mood, or a point of view."[4]

The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a negative review, calling it "A mess of a family drama wrapped up in some never-credible politics and more misshapen monologues than you could find in a freshman play-writing course..."[5]
