With the issue of suicide never shied away from, Whit Stillman’s Damsels In Distress is set against a backdrop of pain and suffering that is masked by whimsy and social judgment to produce a film that never dwells for longer than it needs to.

Whit Stillman is a name that has not been seen on a cinema screen for sometime. His latest, the delightful Damsels in Distress, is his first film since The Last Days of Disco in 1998. I have a lot of affection for Whit Stillman’s films and was overjoyed to discover, upon viewing Damsels in Distress [...]
Oscar-nominated writer-director Whit Stillman returns after more than a decade’s absence since his last film with Damsels in Distress, which was chosen for the closing night of Venice Film Festival last year and has already been very well received.
