Leave your thoughts about Damsels in Distress.
| RedEyeMatt PaisWorth seeing twice (at least), Damsels represents nothing less than a great movie about a goofy world--an articulate swoon of smarts posing as stupidity. |
| eFilmCritic.comPeter SobczynskiPersonally, I don't think a day has gone by since I have seen it when I haven't thought of some aspect about it and found myself grinning helplessly as a result. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierJust as precise and self-consciously precious as predicted. Which doesn't mean it hasn't got moments of charming wit buried under all its archness. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeA good-hearted, delightfully quirky film with an intelligent vibe. |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelChris ForanStillman cannot only still bring it verbose-style, but he can make it fun, cheerful and even optimistic in the process. |
| New York PostFarran Smith NehmeDamsels contains much that's familiar to fans of previous Stillman films such as 1990's "Metropolitan": looping jokes that build on one another, allusions to art and literature, characters who are proudly out of step with the times. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversWelcome Damsels in Distress, an exhilarating gift of a comedy about college, the female intellect, the limitless male ego, inventing a new dance, and suicide prevention. |
| TheWrapAlonso DuraldeWhile by no means his strongest work, even secondary Stillman goes leaps and bounds beyond what most of today's hacks try to pass off as romantic comedy. |
| indieWireLisa RosmanThe problem is that since all these kids are so blank, only Stillman, as the narrative voice, is in on his many jokes. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIt's lighter on its feet than [Stillman's] previous films, still witty and bracing, and perhaps even brighter and more colorful than ever before. It's a treat. |
