Ocean's 8

Newly paroled con artist Debbie Ocean, Danny Ocean's younger sister, convinces former partner in crime Lou Miller, who is now running a bar, to join her in a new heist. They assemble their team: has-been fashion designer Rose Weil, who owes the IRS; jewelry maker Amita, who longs for more independence from her mother; security hacker Leslie "Nine Ball" Jordan; street hustler and pickpocket Constance; and profiteer Tammy, a housewife who fences stolen goods out of her suburban home.

Debbie plans to steal the Toussaint, a $150 million Cartier necklace, during the upcoming Met Gala, using the host, famous film star Daphne Kluger, as an unwitting accomplice. The team manipulates her into hiring Rose and convinces Cartier to loan her the Toussaint. Rose and Amita go to Cartier and digitally scan the necklace to manufacture a cubic zirconia replica. Nine Ball works on creating a blindspot on the museum's security cameras to move the necklace. Tammy secures a temporary coordinator position at Vogue, gaining access to the gala's seating plan and getting Lou hired as a nutritionist for the event. Debbie leads Daphne to invite art dealer Claude Becker, whose betrayal sent Debbie to prison in the first place, as her date. Lou confronts Debbie for planning revenge against Becker, but she reassures her that it will not jeopardize their plan. When Rose learns the Toussaint can only be unclasped by a special magnet carried by Cartier's security detail, Nine Ball enlists her younger sister Veronica's help in creating a duplicate.

At the gala, Lou spikes Daphne's soup, causing her to rush to the women's bathroom. As the male Cartier guards wait outside and Daphne vomits into a toilet, Constance deftly removes the necklace from her neck and sneaks it to Amita, who splits it into smaller pieces of jewelry in the kitchen bathroom. When Daphne reappears with the necklace missing, the museum immediately goes on lockdown and a search of the premises and guests commences. It ends, however, when Tammy "finds" the duplicate necklace just before Amita can be caught. Constance slips the pieces to the team to smuggle out by wearing them, and Debbie plants a piece of it on Becker. After the heist, Daphne joins the ladies, revealing that she already knew about the robbery by analyzing their actions. She asks for the eighth cut in exchange for saving them from jail.

When the fake necklace is returned to Cartier, the switch is discovered, and insurance investigator John Frazier is assigned to investigate Cartier's claim. Having crossed paths with and sent members of the Ocean family to prison before, Frazier immediately suspects Debbie, but her careful presence on the gala's video footage gives her an unbeatable alibi. She negotiates with him to hand over the thief as well as a part of the necklace. Daphne visits Becker and sends Frazier a picture of the jewel Debbie planted. To further frame him, Debbie hires actresses posing as elderly socialites to sell some parts of the Toussaint off and deposit the money into an account in Becker's name. Becker is taken into custody.

As the eight celebrate their success, Lou reveals the heist's true target: while the gala was on lockdown, she and The Amazing Yen, the acrobat who worked with Danny, replaced a Metropolitan Museum of Art display of royal jewels loaned by European royal families with replicas assembled by Amita, escaping with more gems even more valuable than the Toussaint. With their payouts from the score much larger than previously promised, each member of the team goes her separate way: Amita travels to Paris with a man she meets on Tinder; Rose pays off her debts and opens her own store; Constance buys a spacious loft in the city and becomes a YouTuber; Tammy expands her business in stolen goods; Nine Ball opens a pool hall; Daphne becomes a film director (and is shown directing a lookalike); Lou takes her motorcycle on a scenic road trip; and Debbie mixes and enjoys a martini at Danny's grave, knowing he would be proud of her.

Deadline Hollywood noted that it was tracking on par with the 2016 all-female Ghostbusters reboot (which opened to $46 million), and had more interest from audiences than the likes of fellow female-led comedies The Heat ($39.1 million debut), Spy ($29.1 million), and Girls Trip ($31.2 million).{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2018/05/rihanna-anne-hathaway-oceans-8-box-office-opening-projection-1202393228/|title='Ocean's 8' Looking Great On Tracking With Potential $45M Start|website=Deadline Hollywood|publisher=Penske Business Media|date=May 17, 2018|first=Anthony|last=D'Alessandro|access-date=May 29, 2018}} The film made $4 million from Thursday night previews, including $100,000 from additional early screenings Wednesday night, and $15.8 million on its first day (including previews).

According to BBC News, critical reviews of the film were "broadly positive", though "most had some reservations".{{cite web|date=June 6, 2018|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-44381297|title=Is Ocean's 8 a waste of talent?|website=BBC News|publisher=BBC|access-date=August 9, 2018}}{{cite news|last=Shoard|first=Catherine|date=June 15, 2018|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/jun/15/oceans-8-dominance-men-film-reviews|title=Ocean's 8 stars blame dominance of male critics for film's mixed reviews|newspaper=The Guardian|access-date=June 16, 2018}} On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film had an approval rating of {{RT data|score}} based on {{RT data|count}} reviews, and an average rating of {{RT data|average}}. The website's critical consensus reads, "Ocean's 8 isn't quite as smooth as its predecessors, but still has enough cast chemistry and flair to enjoyably lift the price of a ticket from filmgoers up for an undemanding caper."{{cite Rotten Tomatoes|id={{RT data|rtid|noprefix=y}}|type=m|title=Ocean's 8|access-date={{RT data|access date}}}}{{RT data|edit}} At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating to reviews, the film had a weighted average score of 61 out of 100, based on reviews from 50 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".{{cite Metacritic|id=oceans-8|type=movie|title=Ocean's 8|access-date=May 3, 2022}} Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale, the same score earned by Ocean's Eleven and Thirteen.

Writing for Rolling Stone, Peter Travers gave the film 3 out of 4 stars and praised the cast (namely Bullock, Blanchett and Hathaway), saying, "Ocean's 8 is a heist caper that looks gorgeous, keeps the twists coming and bounces along on a comic rhythm that's impossible to resist. What more do you want in summer escapism?"{{cite magazine |last=Travers |first=Peter |author-link=Peter Travers|date=June 6, 2018 |title='Ocean's 8' Review: Heist Franchise's Female Reboot Gives You Stars For a Steal|url= https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/reviews/oceans-8-movie-review-sandra-bullock-cate-blanchett-w521144|magazine=Rolling Stone |access-date=June 6, 2018}} Alonso Duralde of TheWrap called the film "slick, charming and funny," though added "it never quite kicks into high gear" and said, "Cinematographer Eigil Bryld gives the proceedings the high-gloss of a SkyMall catalog, which is appropriate for a movie about robbing a legendary Cartier necklace at fashion's most exclusive event... And between the sheen and the talented performers, Ocean's 8 does eventually coast on froth and good will."{{cite web|url=https://www.thewrap.com/oceans-8-film-review-sandra-bullock-cate-blanchett-rihanna/|title='Ocean's 8' Film Review: Sandra Bullock and Her Female Crew Idle Amiably in Heist Farce|first=Alonso |last=Durande |work=TheWrap |date=June 5, 2018 |access-date=June 6, 2018}}

Variety{{'}}s Owen Gleiberman said it is "clever enough to get by" and wrote "Ocean's 8 is a casually winning heist movie, no more and no less, but like countless films devoted to the exploits of cool male criminals, it lingers most... as a proudly scurrilous gallery of role models." He found Hathaway "commanding at every moment" and believed Bullock projected "the debauched insolence" and ideological drive of "a hungry criminal", but lamented the scarcity of impressive dialogue for Paulson and Blanchett, who "don't get a chance to create indelible characters".{{cite magazine |author=Gleiberman, Owen |url=https://variety.com/2018/film/reviews/oceans-8-review-sandra-bullock-1202830271/|author-link=Owen Gleiberman|title=Film Review: 'Ocean's 8' |magazine=Variety |date=June 5, 2018 |access-date=June 6, 2018}} In The Boston Globe, Ty Burr was more impressed by Blanchett's performance ("the Boss of This Movie") and said, apart from Hathaway, the film largely depended on the "established personas" of the actors.{{cite web|last=Burr|first=Ty|date=June 6, 2018|url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/movies/2018/06/06/the-bling-ring/xvYjbb4zpHYpacpmFYYFBI/story.html|title='Ocean's 8' is a different take on the bling ring|website=The Boston Globe|access-date=January 22, 2019}}

Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune gave the film 2 out of 4 stars and said, "Some movies are more about parallel play than actual playground interaction, and despite a screenful of terrifically skillful talents, Ocean's 8 never quite gets its ensemble act together. It's smooth, and far from inept. But it isn't much fun. That's all you want from a certain kind of heist picture, isn't it?

Manohla Dargis, writing for the New York Times, said "The bad ex angle isn't worked too hard or too long, but it means that even when women are running a multimillion-dollar con they have to make room for guy troubles, which is a drag". Dargis classifies the film as a "needless narrative filler" and concluded that "A lot of this is fun to watch but would have been more breezily enjoyable if the movie played as lightly (and seriously) with gender as much as it does with genre."{{Cite news |last=Dargis |first=Manohla |date=2018-06-06 |title=Review: 'Ocean's 8' Women Walk Away With a Male Franchise.

Kaling attributed some of the negative reception to the film to the dominance of male critics and a lack of diversity among mainstream film critics. In an interview with Yahoo! Movies, Kaling cited actress Meryl Streep's criticism of Rotten Tomatoes and said, "There is obviously an audience out there who want to watch things like [Ocean's 8], what I work on, what Sarah [Paulson] works on... I think white men, critics would enjoy [the film], would enjoy my work, but often I think there is a critic who will damn it in a way because they don't understand it, because they come at it at a different point of view, and they're so powerful, Rotten Tomatoes."

Several film journalists strongly disagreed with claims that the reception had been dictated by the gender and ethnicity of the critics. Guy Lodge, a chief film critic for Variety, highlighted the fact that several female reviewers, including Emily Yoshida from Vulture and Time magazine's Stephanie Zacharek, concurred with the negative response of some male film critics. Justin Chang, an Asian-American critic for the Los Angeles Times, argued that film criticism needed increased diversity, but "We negate the possibility of sympathetic imagination when we assume that someone's particular affinity for a work of art will be dictated in advance by specifics of race, gender and age." He instead argued that the benefits would be a broader pool of talent and perspectives.{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-et-mn-film-criticism-diversity-20180620-story.html|title=We need more diversity in film criticism, but 'Who is this movie for?' is the wrong question to ask|author=Justin Chang|work=Los Angeles Times|date=June 20, 2018|access-date=September 12, 2018}} Donald Clarke from The Irish Times pointed out that the film had received a "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and a better score than Ocean's Twelve.{{cite web|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/film/men-shouldn-t-review-ocean-s-8-wrong-cate-blanchett-1.3534130|title=Men shouldn't review 'Ocean's 8'?

In an interview with Refinery29, Olivia Milch was asked by Scott Meyers, "Did you feel like as a woman working on this major movie (Ocean's 8) with all-female cast, there was more pressure to succeed, and get it right?" and she responded "sometimes I'd look over and say: 'Oh my god, there's eight women onscreen right now, this is amazing!' But it's a shame that, because the percentage of films that are either made by women or with female protagonists is so low, there does tend to be this pressure to perform very well, or if you screw up, then you're never going to get the chance again."{{Cite web|date=June 7, 2018|title=How Olivia Milch Went From Dude To Ocean's 8 At Just 29|url=https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2018/06/200903/oceans-8-writer-olivia-milch-movies-women|access-date=March 31, 2022|website=Refinery 29}}
