Tea With the Dames

"'Tea with the Dames' is exactly what its title suggests, an intimate chat with lots of tea between the great dames of British drama: Judi Dench, Eileen Atkins, Joan Plowright and Maggie Smith. They reminisce about moments in their careers, how they met and curiosities of their trajectories. Directed by Roger Mitchell, of 'Notting Hill', everything is conducted with the necessary lightness to turn the meeting of four great friends into a documentary that entertains the viewer. The result is a valuable narrative for the fans of these great actresses and, of course, for cinema fans in general."
