Steel Magnolias

This is such a classic film with an incredible cast. Romance and laughter and some tragedy too, it has it all Never tire of seeing this film Highly recommended Elizabeth Hair

Steel Magnolias [DVD] [1990 ] One of my top ten films - this is a true gem and what a cast - I have lost count of the number of times I have seen this on TV, but I never tire of it. There are amazing performances from everyone and I have cried one minute and laughed the next in some parts of this ( Shelbys Funeral) classic example - to break to tension and lighten the mood - when Saly Fields says "I just want to hit someone" Olympia Dukakis grabs Shirley Mclaine and says " hit her" classic! the story is all based around a beauty parlour in Lousianna and thats where it really all revolves- some of it is very sad and makes you cry, but as I say there some very very funny moments - one of my favourite bits is where Shelby Junior, gives Shirley Mclaine a good slap round the face, as he had just been told she was a mean nasty old witch!! hilarious - watch -cry laugh and enjoy!

I have seen this wonderful film so many times and love the way it portrays the child-mother bond and the complex relationships between women. I'm not a fan of Julia Roberts but in this film she really packs a punch as the young woman with diabetes trying to get as much out of her life as possible. Shirley Maclaine is a joy to watch as always - brilliantly acerbic with some great one-liners..."My he's such a gentleman, I bet he takes the dishes out of the sink before he pees in it!". Dolly Parton is stunning to look at and proves she can be a very sensitive actor. This film is to be explored and enjoyed so I wont describe any further so as not to spoil this journey....you'd have to be as hard as nails not to feel Sally Field's distress towards the end of the film, I have yet to see the end credits without tears streaming down my face. 'Life goes on'....

This film has probably the finest female cast of any Hollywood film,with all six on top form. It's a comfortable weepy. In other words the characters have so much money they can suffer in comfort. It's notable for a young Julia Roberts giving an early award winning performance which made her a star for evermore, but it's especially enjoyable for the performance of Shirley MacLaine, as the cantankerous love-starved curmudgeon with a heart of marshmallow. Nothing really nasty happens.Enjoy it.

Beautiful storyline of friendship, love and loss. Great characters, superb acting. 5* all day long. Highly recommended.

Very enjoyable and I'm happy to recommend

Love this movie 🎬

I spent the whole time watching waiting for it to start, I think there are several plots that needed greater exploration, it was like an opening chapter of a book, but no middle or end.

Excellent DVD

Magnolien aus Stahl ist ein bittersüßer Film über starke Frauen und schwere Entscheidungen im Leben. Alle bekannten Schauspieler spielen mitreißend. Dolly Parton als Friseurin und mütterliche Freundin hat mich besonders überrascht. Ein toller Film, der länger nachwirkt.

芸達者の女優さんたちが、たくさん出演なさっており、その中でも、シャーリー マクレーンさんの存在感は、圧倒的でした。何度でも観たいと思わせる作品です。

corale commedia che conosco e molto bene, innamorato delle protagonista, non poteva mancare il supporto fisico nella mia collezione...
