Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
Based on Robert Harling's play and directed by Herbert Ross, Steel Magnolias is a comedy-drama that follows several years in the lives of women who regularly see one another at a beauty shop in their small Louisiana hometown. The story deepens as Julia Roberts, playing a serious diabetic and the daughter of Sally Field, goes downhill healthwise. But as an ensemble piece, this is one of those enjoyably lumpy tearjerkers with many years' worth of stored truths suddenly being shared between the characters, lots of grievances aired, that sort of thing. Daryl Hannah and Shirley MacLaine assume the most eccentric roles, Dolly Parton the most fun and Olympia Dukakis the most dignified, while Sally Field essentially provides the moral and emotional centre of the movie. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this film!, 16 Jun 2003
By GG (The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Steel Magnolias [VHS] [1990] (VHS Tape)
I'm sure that any film reviewer would not put this in his list of the top 10 films of all time, but it is way up there in my personal list. It is just a great feel good film which over a period of several years depicts the lives of several women as the get on with life as best they can. Dolly Parton, Olympia Dukakis, Sally Field, Shirley McLaine, Daryl Hannah, and Julia Roberts star. All aspects of life are there, right from birth to death and theres some great comedy in there too tyhough the film is not a comedy. Dukakis and Mclaine's one liners and constant bickering is a joy from start to finish. The film is set in the 'deep south' of the US, which seems to give the comedy a bit more bite'... well okay then it gets down right bitchy at times but always tongue in cheek.
A great Sunday afternoon film. May make your eyes water and tug at your heart strings but well worth a look!

5.0 out of 5 stars What an INCREDIBLE Masterpiece!, 17 Mar 2006
By A Customer
No matter how many times I watch this film, I am NEVER bored. In fact, I am captivated til the bitter sweet end.

The film focuses on the collective and individual lives of 6 women of various ages, who have had their highs and lows. The main focus is on the mother/daughter relationship played by Sally Field and Julia Roberts.

You see the strong bond of parent and child and your heart physically hurts at the tragic and emotive parts. I have never been so moved in my life. I cried so much as it felt so real.

The winning peformance had to be from Sally Field. I don't know if it was for this film that she won an Oscar but it darn well should be for this film! Seeing her distraught, angry, heartbroken and inconsolable was just utterly moving-I felt exactly the way she did. You're immediately able to empathise and you just want to go through the tv and scream with her. I've never watched a movie that could make me feel so much.

It truly is an inspiration and one of those rare movie gems that you don't get in this day and age.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gem of a film....., 27 Jun 2007
By Craig Stewart (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
I have watched this film many, many times over the years and it's still as great as the first time I watched it. A superstar cast brings with it quality acting and a superb script. Don't think I've ever watched it without crying, so if you're a Steel Magnolias virgin, or coming back to it for a repeat viewing - be sure to have the tissues at the ready....
It also has one of my all-time favourite quotes, which is something I live by...
"I'd rather have one moment of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special" - simply beautiful!

Obviously if you like your no-brainer action car-chase movies, this isn't for you. If you want a simple story of lives and friendships, beautifully written and flawless performances, with depth and character - this is essential viewing.
