A. O. Scott of The New York Times in 2003, said the acting, especially by the actresses playing the three sisters, "was unassuming and precise". But the film suffers from being "inadvertently, a little misogynistic".[5] "a complicated confection" and "Convoluted plot aside, universally understandable", said Eddie Cockrell of Variety.[6]
