Jun 18, 2018 My lifelong attraction to Patty Duke (don't ask), the clear allure of the late Sharon Tate and this film's cult status couldn't get me to care one second about this campy look at Hollywood starlets and what I hope are exaggerations, though I admittedly couldn't stop thinking about Lindsay Lohan. If the book is as long and drawn out as the film, I happily admit to only seeing the movie. It was beating enough. See more

Albus G Apr 23, 2018 A mildly amusing soap opera but not as involving as one would hope.

Harry M Feb 6, 2018 Valley of the Dolls isn't sleazy enough to be trash, or laughably bad enough to be schlock, it's just a straight up waste of time that drags on forever, even if it has nice cinematography and a wonderful color palette. See more

Kylo R Nov 23, 2017 Three women in show business. There's ups, there's downs. There's parts to take, there's parts to turn down. there's men, there's drama, there's alcohol, there's drugs. Strong, believeable perfomances and a lot of story going on. It moves fast but steady, never easy to predict and there is no time to be bored here even if my interest is not the greatest. I miss some true character knowledge - but it's never really a film that can focus on that matter. It's a bit sloppy, in a way. Not in ways of production, but the total idea. A sad mess, in a happy wrapping. All the fakeness shines trough, but they do not want the viewer to see the total pacakge in a way, just like in real showbiz. A nice move I think. Shannon Tate must be one of the prettiest girls of the 60's. The poor girl seemed troubled at times, but she could really act too. She is great here, beeing that natural stunner she was, even if I'm pretty sure that given image annoyed her a bit her entire life. Dolls is used as a metaphor for pills here so the title seem very fitting. OK film, that's showing of important matters and probably known facts in a delicatly off-beat way. 6 out of 10 dolls.

Leia R Oct 31, 2017 Great production value just churning out drivel.

Ron S Jan 20, 2017 A corny, over-the-top, adaptation that exposes life behind the scenes of old school Hollywood, and the way in which it swallows up and spits out young girls. A more straightforward take would've probably had more impact, but there's no denying that this is engaging. See more
