About Steel Magnolias in brief
Steel Magnolias is a 1989 American comedy-drama film directed by Herbert Ross. It is a film adaptation of Robert Harling’s 1987 play of the same name. The play and film are about the bond a group of women share in a small-town southern community, and how they cope with the death of one of their own. Released by TriStar Pictures in the United States on November 15, 1989, grossed more than 83 million at the box office. It received generally positive reviews from critics and has a score of 68% on Rotten Tomatoes. The original play dramatized experiences of the family and friends of the play’s author following the 1985 death of his sister from diabetic complications after the birth of his namesake nephew and the failure of a family member’s donated kidney.
The film adapted the original film script, which was heavily rewritten beyond the on-stage one-set scenario. The story is more tightly linked with the play than the stage production; the increased characters caused dialogue between the original, all-female cast caused the dialogue on the screen to change.

It has a 68% score on the Rotten RottenTom&Botten critics’ score and a score on 68% of critics’ scores.
