Feminism is alive and well! March 1, 2007
Ms. Judith Connor (Bristol, UK)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As an old-style feminist who believes now, more than ever, that women do best when taking charge of our own bodies and keeping doctors at bay, this film was IT! It made me laugh, and shout approval, and feel eternally vindicated!
Pamela is going through the menopause. Her GP offers the usual "fixes", which she wisely decides not to take. On the advice of another woman on the allotment, Pamela takes a more radical, and effective, remedy - which gets her into trouble with her partner and the law!
A must for all women, especially those with the menopause still to come.
PS My friend tried it, and it worked!

Definitely the funniest and most bizarre film I've seen in years and years. This complex, hilarious and fiercely intelligent story begins with slow rhythmic dialogue, mad camera angles and a quite surreal sense of deja-vue. Whilst it initially cons you into thinking you're watching a cross between an art movie and a Monty Python sketch, the levels, references and jokes grow into a new and original film genre. This spans from lampoon type slapstick to really subtle and clever wit.
The film asks why we can't have cheap, safe and widely recognised medicine instead of expensive drugs that are loaded with side effects. It would be impossible to patent wild yam so there would be no huge profit for the pharmaceutical industry.
It made me spit with laughter. As Ms Gardener is a keen observer of both people and the way in which the media represents them, she manages to make an important political/economical and social point whilst being thoroughly entertaining.
I want much more of this.
