What to Know

Critics Consensus

In terms of quality, Dr. T and the Women is one of Altman's good-but-not-great films. In typical Altman style, it features some great ensemble acting, including a wonderful performance by Richard Gere.

Matt Y This is a movie written by someone who has never stepped foot in the state of Texas, much less the city of Dallas. The characters are stereotypes of what Angelinos *think* North Texans act and talk like. The characterization is shallow, the plot is thin, and the only saving grace is that everyone knows this movie is a dog. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/09/23 Full Review John A Robert Altman has made some slickly compelling films. This star-studded confusing exercise is not one of them. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/28/23 Full Review Otvio F Film is the recipe for Disaster, horribly poorly produced, and completely banal. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/21 Full Review Audience Member Great cast of people but I was bored with the entire thing. I know Robert Altman can do really good movies but Richard Gere's performance is the only thing keeping the rest of this from sinking under so much babble. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Far and away the worst movie I've ever seen. I even watched it a second time to see if maybe I just wasn't in the right mood the first time. If anything, it was worse the second time around. Despite some decent acting, the movie is slow and boring. Most damning, though, is that the story makes no sense, and the ending is abominable. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review steve d Richard Gere is wonderful, the film is not. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
