Richard Brody The New Yorker 05/21/2018
Stillman unfolds disco's vectors of power with a historian's insight and a novelist's eye for satirical nuance. Go to Full Review

The focus of The Last Days of Disco is a psychologically authentic and painfully parasitic female relationship. Go to Full Review

Joe Reid Decider 06/07/2018
The Last Days of Disco is a feast for clever, loaded dialogue, delivered with zip by its fantastic cast, chief among them Chloe Sevigny and the divine Kate Beckinsale. Go to Full Review

Yuri B @RyuBlack May 25 Greatly underestimated this film... the nostalgia of the music, the outfits... this was wonderfully acted by the whole cast... also, I am a huge Chloë Sevigny fan and she was absolutely delightful. See more noa r 04/10/2024 i definitely think this movie is a hit or miss. i watched the first hour and was really confused within the plot, so i decided to watch the movie in one sitting the day after. to be honest this movie is a teaching of the 80s as an era, and the nyc lifestyle at the time for young adults. it's very comical and excellent when it comes to it's dialogue, chloë sevigny is a fantastic lead as someone navigating their social life in the city. in my opinion... this film has ONE OF THE BEST MOVIE SOUNDTRACKS BY FAR. See more Alec B 01/10/2024 Arguably the best of Stillman's trilogy from the 90s as its nostalgia for the disco era feels totally legitimate and there's something really enduring about these characters who make all of the wrong choices but never lack conviction. See more 06/13/2023 Chloe Sevigny and a young Kate Beckinsale directed by Whit Stillman based on his travels through various nightclubs It's the last days of disco in 1980s NYC and Alice and Charlotte are Hampshire graduates They are underpaid at a publishing company but hope to have all kinds of adventures meeting various men The soundtrack is retro, the actors are human enough yet there is so much socializing Everybody hates being criticized, women should be in control of their own destinys, they don't have to marry rich corporate associates to get by, do women prefer weak and decisive men?, disco is too good to have died off so soon maybe it'll come back in our lives, we don't have to envy anyone or be like anyone, if you already live with someone why bother going out? This feels more like a tv movie but it's got good players See more Steve D 02/11/2023 There may not be much of a plot but the script and actors are absolutely hilarious. See more 04/19/2022 Bad acting, boring dialogues and monologues. And the 'dancing' scenes, erf... These people can barely move one shoulder ! I would be less shocked if these scenes had been shot in a senior's residence... See more Read all reviews
