Marit Risto F How boring. Move them all to Marigold hotel. And this dame thing...Unbelievable how many here are royalists. Where is the liberté, égalité, et fraternité? Choked by Donald and the gang. So much life lost. So much joy choked. Time to live again sweetheARTs! Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/10/25 Full Review Petros T It's a joy to watch these four legends interact, reminisce, laugh and mess with each other (Maggie Smith is on typically witty form), the occasional senility giving it extra charm. However, the film doesn't reach its full potential. It's unclear if the aim was to capture an organic conversation or orchestrate an interview, and neither is achieved well enough: the former is undermined by outside interference and occasional awkwardness, whereas the latter was in need of more insightful questions. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/11/25 Full Review Lana B Everything feels rather forced. The questions were really boring and sometimes just silly. And this constant "Talk about that" or "Talk about this" is just annoying. The dames are wonderful. Production - horrendous. This project being a documentary it was a production team's job to create a relaxed atmosphere and make all the participants feel it. Participants were nothing like relaxed. Constant nudging towards this or that subject did nothing to improve it. Overall, the idea was good, but execution ruined it.

Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member An absolute must-see. Definitely filled with wonderful laughter, heart-warming laughter. But overall the tone of the whole "film", or documentary, whatever you want to call it, has left me feeling seriously haunted. There is an unexpected (but not at all surprising, come to think of it) deep and serious homage to Shakespeare. The film itself seems to be capturing the lives of these beautiful women vanishing into thin air (as Judi alludes to in a concluding recitation from the famous lines of Prospero), and it's both beautiful, endearing, inspiring, funny, and fun...but, at the same time tragic, frightening, depressing, and I guess humbling. We are the stuff but which dreams are made on -- Maggie hasn't even seen a single episode of Downton Abbey (she jokes she better make "haste" but it's obvious she never will). These wonderful women are so powerful, are so filled with magic, have done so much with their lives, and yet still here we witness their vanishing. And soon nothing will remain of them at all......except this and countless wonderful other films!! So the good news I guess is thank goodness some of it was captured. Though I suppose ultimately even all that will be forgotten, too. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Adorei, divertido espontâneo, gerou mais entretenimento do que eu imaginava, revelações interessantes e até mesmo surpreendentes, como quando elas afirmam que toda vez que vão entrar no palco ainda tremem, ou mesmo gravar uma cena como se estivessem prendendo a respiração até que tudo termine, pois sempre imaginei que com o tempo, soasse tão natural e espontâneo, quase entediante, como normalmente qualquer outra profissão...
