Damsels In Distress
1hr 39mins
Starring: Greta Gerwig, Carrie MacLemore, Megalyn Echikunwoke, Analeigh Tipton, Adam Brody
Directed by: Whit Stillman
The plot: Three self-obsessed college students, Violet, Heather and Rose, do more harm than good with a campus-based counselling service for depressed fellow undergraduates. The plucky trio take well-adjusted new girl Lily under their wing and slowly but surely they warp her perspective on life, convincing Lily that the only way to stand out from the crowd is to be part of their crowd.
what the others say
Time Out
"While the comedy might be patchy, Gerwig and Stillman make for quite the two-step."
Empire
"Gilded by a giddy Greta Gerwig, Damsels In Distress is a sharp, daffy, eccentric delight. Stillman may be an acquired taste, but no-one else is making films like this. Cherish it."
Total Film
"A mixed return for Stillman, Damsels is so whimsically out of step it's like a time-travel comedy without the time travel. Fortunately, Gerwig and some dazzling dialogue save his blushes."
