Les Bonnes Femmes is a 1960 French nouvelle vague comedy drama film directed by Claude Chabrol.

Though unsuccessful upon its initial release in France, it was subject to critical reevaluation, and is now regarded as one of the best of Chabrol's early films.

The film was a commercial and critical failure in France,[4] and wasn't shown in the United States until 1966, when it opened in New York City.

"[3] In the UK, critic Geoff Andrew rated the film "an ironic, witty study of human foibles" which "remains emotionally affecting thanks to Chabrol's unsentimental compassion for his subjects.

"[6] Writing in The Guardian, David Thomson called it "one of Chabrol's best films, in which the four shopgirls he observes are all versions of the Emma Bovary dream.
