« Bridal Shower (1971) features various sisters, relatives and friends playing out a typical small-town bridal shower, revealing it for what it is, 'a North American pre-marital fertility ritual complete with humiliations, party games and fright masks'. Wilson's satire is dominated by a rambunctious sense of fun, so that we never lose touch with the women's humanity. »
