Virginia B Nov 2 What a great cast I almost forgot it what it was like to see such a great movie. A total lady flick in my humble opinion. Glad I got to see it. Thanks for the re-release. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 7 Steel Magnolias is a timeless cinematic masterpiece that celebrates the power of female friendship and resilience. Featuring an extraordinary ensemble cast including Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis, Dolly Parton, Julia Roberts, Sally Field, and Daryl Hannah, the film captures a warm, intimate community of women navigating life’s joys and sorrows. The screenplay balances humor and heartbreak seamlessly, from witty salon banter to profoundly emotional moments, like Sally Field’s portrayal of a mother facing unimaginable pain. Julia Roberts shines as Shelby, bringing vulnerability and bravery that leave a lasting impact. Dylan McDermott adds grounded support without overshadowing the women. Set in a charming Southern town, the film’s aesthetic enhances its heartfelt tone, making the salon feel like a living space of connection and confession. Even decades later, its themes of love, loss, and strength resonate deeply, proving its enduring relevance and emotional power. See more Geri H. @Ghlowe Nov 20 Stellar cast. So well written. True story. See more VITALII H @freakynickison Oct 26 Very nostalgic, happy, sad, entertaining & joyful! I am obsessed with Dolly Parton's character! She was bringing so much to the movie. Small town life during the 80s, that's all I'm gonna say! The movie is full of life!

See more Jay W Jun 3 The main group of ladies in this movie, Julia Roberts, Dolly Parton, Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis and Daryl Hannah, are right up there with the Magnificent 7, as the best ensemble group of characters in film history. This is very much a character driven story. The 'what' that is going on, is important only because of 'who' it is happening to. And because we, the audience, care about them, we care about what happens. They are not perfect people, they are not the sweetest of people or the nicest of friends, but they feel like real people going through real problems. And it made me real sad.
