Movie Info

What happens when four legends of British stage and screen get together? Dame Maggie Smith, Dame Judi Dench, Dame Eileen Atkins, and Dame Joan Plowright are among the most celebrated actresses of our time, with scores of iconic performances, decades of wisdom, and innumerable Oscars, Tonys, Emmys, and BAFTAs between them. They are also longtime friends who hereby invite you to join them for a weekend in the country as they catch up with one another, reminisce, and share their candid, delightfully irreverent thoughts on everything from art to aging to love to a life lived in the spotlight. Bursting with devilish wit and whip-smart insights, Tea With The Dames is a remarkable opportunity to spend time in the company of four all-time greats--up close and unfiltered.

The movie is akin to sitting down with your friends and having a great chat. I'd easily have watched a longer cut of this.

Fair warning. It was about ten seconds into this film when the first "Hello, darling" dissolved any critical distance I could muster.

September 19, 2018 | Rating: A- | Full Review…

Director Roger Michell did a beautiful job with his gentle, hands-off approach, which led to a marvellously entertaining programme.

July 10, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

You don't have to be familiar with all of their work to appreciate their experience and the words of wisdom they impart on the audience.

June 24, 2018 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

It is hard to overstate the charm of this restrained and intimate film.

June 13, 2018 | Full Review…

It's not just what she says but the way she says it, that makes Judi Dench's advice to her younger self so moving. Be less susceptible to falling in love, she says. This is one of the wonderful moments in this fly-on-the-wall documentary...
