Movie Reviews

Filmcritic.com - 10/10 by Chris Cabinhas the humor, warmth, and satirical edge to make it a tragically forgotten classic
Scene-Stealers.com - 10/10 by Eric MelinYou get the feeling that you're eavesdropping on real conversation rather than the polite chit-chat you might expect at actual events, and seeing those aristocratic tendencies fall away to reveal scared human beings is part of the movie's infinite charm.
Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL) - 9/10 by Jeffrey WesthoffOne of the few films that successfully makes the East Coast upper class sympathetic. Stillman is current cinema's one true wit.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertNot very much happens in Metropolitan, and yet everything that happens is felt deeply, because the characters in this movie are still too young to have perfected their defenses against life.
Village Voice - 9/10 by Sam WeisbergIt might make you long for a return to movies in which teens have a greater vocabulary than their parents.
San Francisco Examiner - 9/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonTalky and pretentious, saved only by Eigeman's dry wit.
Slant Magazine - 9/10 by Jaime N. ChristleyMetropolitan celebrates and mourns the specific character of a place and time, youthful associations and crushes, a toolkit of values, even if those values are not exactly shared by, say, housewives in Duluth and auto mechanics in Albuquerque.
Variety - 9/10 by Amy DawesMetropolitan succeeds on several levels, offering rich, sparkling dialog, distinct characters and an intriguing peek into a seldom seen milieu.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Robert AbeleStillman hasn't made as hermetically appealing a movie since, but for those lamenting the absence of the written word in modern comedy - rather than the improvisationally blurted-out kind - "Metropolitan" makes for delightful memory-lane viewing.
Time Out - 9/10 by Jessica WinterNone of Stillman's endearing characters quite fits their prescribed social context, and in its exhilarated final movement, Metropolitan finds an exit out of the stifling UHB salon.
