noa r 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. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/10/24 Full Review Alec B 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. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/13/23 Full Review Steve D There may not be much of a plot but the script and actors are absolutely hilarious. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member 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... Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review dave s In Whit Stillman's The Last Days of Disco, a vapid group of twenty-somethings alternate between dancing to vapid music and engaging in vapid conversations. And that's about it, as there is really no plot to speak of. The dialogue is stilted at its best and unrealistic at its worst – does anyone in America really speak in such an esoteric manner without drawing the ire of his or her friends? With the exception of Kate Beckinsale, who sounds as though she's reading her lines off a teleprompter, the cast does a decent job with the lines that have been provided and the film looks fine on a technical level, but unless there was some sort of subtext that has gone way over my head, the whole thing is just a pretentious bore.
