'Nothing Like a Dame' (released in the United States as 'Tea With the Dames') is a 2018 British documentary film directed by Roger Michell, with Sally Angel serving as executive producer. It was produced by Sally Angel and Karen Steyn. The film documents conversations between actresses Eileen Atkins, Judi Dench, Joan Plowright and Maggie Smith (all of whom are Dames Commander of the Order of the British Empire) interspersed with scenes from their careers on film and stage.

Release



'Nothing Like a Dame' was released in the United Kingdom on 2 May 2018. The film was shown on television in the United Kingdom a few weeks after its initial theatrical release.

Reception



Peter Bradshaw of 'The Guardian' gave the film a five out of five star rating, declaring it an "outrageously funny film". Guy Lodge of 'Variety' called the film a "richly enjoyable gabfest" but that the film was "hardly vital cinema".

Both Bradshaw and Lodge noted that they wish the film went through a wider range of topics such as Time's Up and the Me Too movements.
