In Movie - Film - Review, Christopher Tookey wrote that though the actresses were "competent in roles that may have some reference to their own careers", the film "is visually unimaginative, never escapes its stage origins, and is almost totally lacking in revelation or surprising incident". Noting that there were "occasional, refreshing moments of intergenerational bitchiness", they did not "justify comparisons to All About Eve", and were "insufficiently different to deserve critical parallels with Rashomon".
In Movie - Film - Review, Christopher Tookey remarked that the actresses were "proficient in characters that may reflect their own careers", but the film "fails to be visually innovative, never moves beyond its stage origins, and is almost entirely lacking in revelation or unexpected events". He pointed out that there were "occasional, invigorating moments of intergenerational tension", but these did not "justify being compared to All About Eve", nor were they "sufficiently different to warrant critical comparisons with Rashomon".
