A truly touching film that starts off seemingly just as a rom-com but proves to be one of the best female lead films ever made. Wonderfully cast and beautifully shot.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a very dialogue heavy film - Dialogue and character focussed. It took a while to get a feel for the various characters. At first it seemed to me a bit too **** centered, with the female characters clerly saying what they really think about other people, behind closed doors. However, I admit I did feel more interested in it after a while - there are some reasonably quick witted pieces of dialogue, mostly spoken by Dolly Parton (who plays Truvy Jones) and its clear that the women care a lot about each other, which is somehow re-assuring. Its part focussed/set in the very mundane, everyday situations and in a way that maybe makes it more relatable for some. I found the chronology a little confusing to follow - a text prompt would have helped with that. I also respected the way the various ladies pulled together as friends - this is a good film for depicting the value of a good friendship/social circle.

There are some cliches present and it reminded me of 'Terms of Endearment' but its mostly a pleasant enough and even somewhat thoughtful film overall, which I suppose I would, at a push, recommend, if it sounds of interest to you, yes.… Expand

The six women of the film steal the show in Steel Magnolias with their terrific performances. masterfully shifting from comedy to drama to bring an emotional train ride while entertaining us with their top notch chemistry.
