This film is like Dead Poets Society for women. The best part of the movie is Julia Roberts’s complex character, a part that she plays well. And she is surrounded by some equally talented actresses. It’s an intelligent script tackling some issues of the women of the fifties. Negatively, there is quite a bit of sexual dialog and implied sexual relationships in the film, including a professor who is sleeping with some of the students. The film also contains bad language and frequent smoking and alcohol use. For these reasons, Dove cannot award the Dove Family-Approved Seal to this film.
