a group of old rich southern ladies with 80s hair becoming best friends is my favorite kind of content

I already knew the basic story and that ended up being the whole movie. Just a bunch of Southern ladies talking drama and doing hair
Thank you mama for introducing one of the greatest most gut wrenching movies to me

This movie will rip your heart out and stomp on it, I sobbed the entire time but it’s such a good portrayal of grief and every day life after your lose a loved one.
I've heard great things about this movie and was quite disappointed, when I startet it because it looked like just some women gossiping. But in the end it really catched me in such an unexpected way and it felt like the characters had grown close to me without even noticing

As man I’ll never fully understand and appreciate the message of being a strong woman but still I can appreciate the fact that is portrayed real life struggle so well. And I reminds me of my mom and aunts
An emotional and heartwarming movie. Every performance is fantastic and the story is great. Sally Field is incredible and this movie had me weeping at the end.

Metacritic
The densely populated movie, pumped up with unnecessary crowd scenes and a handful of utterly extraneous male characters, is as garish and busy as a TV game show. As directed by Herbert Ross, it is so intent on persuading the audience that it is having a heartwarming emotional experience you almost expect TelePrompTers to flash in the theater, instructing you to laugh and cry. [27 Nov 1989, p.92]
Everything Terms of Endearment's detractors accused Terms of being: a synthetic, manipulative tragi-comedy with performances more appropriate to a proscenium arch - or to a drag show - than to the wide screen. And yet, there are moments in the movie of high comedy and sequences of searing truth. At its worst, Steel Magnolias is vastly inferior to Designing Women; at its best, it brings to mind (but never equals) Tennessee Williams. [20 Nov 1989]
The principal pleasure of the movie is in the ensemble work of the actresses, as they trade one-liners and zingers and stick together and dish the dirt. Steel Magnolias is willing to sacrifice its over-all impact for individual moments of humor, and while that leaves us without much to take home, you've got to hand it to them: The moments work.
