...With "Embroideries" Marjane Satrapi has created a great "woman's" comic, and I mean that without the slightest hint of derision. It focuses exclusively on female characters, examining the way they talk and the aspects of their lives unique to their sex, and then presents their stories in a way that reflects the ebb and flow of women's talk.

It’s totally, totally like The Cutting Edge meets A Beautiful Mind with more than a hint of Bring It On. There is mother-daughter drama, popular girl-science geek drama, cute boy-dorky girl drama, and of course a “raging” (quotes intended) Can’t Hardly Wait-style house party which was as out-of-place in the film as the lead character was at the bash...
