I'm a sucker for high-brow, plotless, hedonistic, period films, but The Last Days of Disco is a failed attempt. While Chris Eigeman is a huge asset to the film, his presence alone is not enough to save it from the film's annoying banter--a constant undulation of witty one-liners and pseudo-intellectual tropes. I enjoy the fast-paced highfalutin dialog, but it's mostly pretty empty, like a bad episode of Gilmore Girls. Not awful, but not terribly interesting or creative either.

Boring Noah Baumbach clone of a film, which are boring enough. Characters are extremely thin and nothing ever really happens other than some bitchy dialog

I'm not one to demand absolute verisimilitude, but, come on, Whit, put a little effort into it. At no point did this feel like anything other than people in 1998 pretending to dance to disco, and the fun, stylised dialogue became absurd in a bad way when occurring in the already comically fake nightclub where the music would be so loud you couldn't hear yourself think. I get the theme of nostalgia and anti-mainstream, but Whit Stillman using disco as a conduit for that is as silly as I expected.

The comedy in the dialogue is pretty sharp and the actors, particularly Beckinsale, do a great job of delivering it and molding their characters. It revolves around spoiled NYC rich kids, though, and I found that a bit distancing but it works. The only problem I had was that it didn't quite coalesce. There are some magnificent scenes, and while it comes together well enough the whole feels a bit less than the sum of its parts.

Whit Stillman's masterpiece. The best of his witty UHB conversations, with a phenomenal cast (including the immensably lovable Chris Eigeman) verbally sparring over an immaculate soundtrack of disco classics. Does a wonderful job of encapsulating a time and a place.

I guess nothing can be as great Metropolitan because I saw it first, but this comes close. It's actually remarkably confident on a visual level (though this is not the end of Morvern Callar or the night club in Babel) The big problem might be that Stillman doesn't really know what to do with like, an actual plot and there sort of is one of those in this film. Probably his best ending, too.

Whit Stillman really gives his movies a special feeling, they have different subjects and frames but they all feel like they really relate between each other and are important, it's like a parallel universe. This movie is pure good script, the only thing is that sometimes it feels like is dragging the themes. Extra points for a very good Chloë Sevigny.
