Critics Are Saying...

 

”Whit Stillman's 'The Last Days of Disco' will be the year's summer movie for smart people."
Terry Teachout
Wall Street Journal

"The cast is first-rate, notably the tart-tongued Eigemen and Beckinsale."
Peter Travers
Rolling Stone
TO THE COMPLETE REVIEW

"...Stillman has the knack of showing us rather than telling us how people change over time, and it's compelling."
Graham Fuller
Interview
TO THE COMPLETE REVIEW

"Quintessentially youthful dilemmas form the heart of Stillman's latest film, the sharp-eyed and charming 'The Last Days of Disco'. Made with Stillman's trademark dry wit and whimsical sense of humor, it is a continuation of the filmmaker's equally stylish first venture, 1990's 'Metropolitan'"

"Stillman has become a master at escalating the laughter by waiting an extra beat and then understating something devastatingly funny..."
Jay Carr

"Stillman is the Balzac of the ironic class, the Dickens of people with too much inner life. "

TO THE COMPLETE REVIEW

"Stillman's strong suit is as wry observer, an almost anachronistic example of the artist-critic who probes deeply and profoundly into the culture around him."

"Stillman creates characters who are bright, articulate and self-aware..."

"If Scott Fitzgerald were to return to life, he would feel at home in a Whit Stillman movie."
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-TImes
TO THE COMPLETE REVIEW

"Humorously and fondly, with an entertaining supply of what he has called "prosaic license," Stillman again displays a pitch-perfect ear for both the cattiness and the camaraderie..."
Janet Maslin
The New York Times
TO THE COMPLETE REVIEW

The fetching cast (including Jennifer Beals as a histrionic girlfriend)... reflects Stillman’s enhanced status as an established indie talent. "
Lisa Schwarzbaum

TO THE COMPLETE REVIEW

"True to psychological convolutions that occur within fad and trend,
(Whit) isn't just partying, but has made a serious comedy".
