Movie Reviews of The Last Days of Disco
Movie Review: Charlotte is fun to watch
Summary: 4 Stars
but Charlottes are no fun in real life. This movie was easier going down than Metropolitan but Metropolitan may be a better movie and Last Days of Disco just more entertaining. In the back of the mind while I was focusing on Carolyn Farina, I got the feeling that the people in Metropolitan weren't very nice although they were nice towards each other. In Last Days of Disco, they weren't nice to each other but they sometimes seemed nicer than the ones in Metropolitan. Barcelona doesn't count because it's two American guys in Spain so of course, the Spanish are nice and throw off the curve. I had no sympathy for Alice although I've been on the receiving end of Charlottes. I just enjoyed Kate Beckinsale in a variety of black dresses.
Charlotte points out "Audrey Roget" by name so no worries if you are watching for Cynthia Farina's cameo.
Movie Review: WITTY
Summary: 4 Stars
The Last Days of Disco is an absorbing look into the declining days of disco in the early 1980's. The story focuses on a group of New York yuppies that seem to find transparent fulfillment in various Manhattan clubs. I find this film so interesting because of director Whit Stillman's explorations into the complexities of human behavior. He shows the audience how deep and shallow all of us can be. For example, Robert Sean Leonard and Chloe Sevigny's characters begin an engrossing discussion about the state of environmental affairs in America one minute and then in the next minute their having meaningless sex. Ultimately, the movie seems to reflect the sexual attitudes of the time, which I think were a little misguided and self-indulgent. Anyhow, this is a prevailingly witty and unusually satisfying film. Definitely worthy of a recommendation.Movie Review: Fantastic Dialogue
Summary: 4 Stars
If you enjoy well-written, intelligent wit, then you'll love The Last Days of Disco. Full of sharp, enjoyable dialogue, The Last Days of Disco tells the story of three roommates and their relationships in and around the club scene of New York in the waning days of the disco era. As others have stated, Chloe Sevigny is stunning in the lead role. This definitely isn't for the Dumb and Dumber crowd, but if you enjoy having your mind tickled as well as your funnybone, then you'll enjoy the Last Days of Disco.Movie Review: This movie gives a fresh, new look to the end of disco.
Summary: 4 Stars
When I rented the movie "The Last Days of Disco," I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. Being a fan of the disco era and the music, I rushed out and bought the soundtrack the next day. The acting was superb, especially that of Chloe Sivigny. I wasn't familiar with her work before, but she is definitely an up-and-coming actress. This is a great party movie for people interested in movies that aren't about big boats sinking or the world ending.Movie Review: Staying still Alive !
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is excellent because it avoids the "Saturday Night Fever" clichés in order to concentrate on the characters. The casting is brilliant, especially Chloé Sevigny. She resolves an unsolvable problem : being a blonde girl in a club without looking like a bitch or a teaser. Alongside with Gummo and Kids, this makes her able to become one of the best american young actresses.
