The characters themselves arent even necessarily likable each flawed and pretentious in their own way but thats part of what makes the movie so good.

Stillman is a talented filmmaker who knows how to avoid most cinematic cliches, and is eager to show human nature in all its amusing weakness, but he ..
San Francisco Chronicle
3.2
Quirky, acerbic, romantic comedy set in Manhattan during the early 1980s.
Sover
3.8
The combination of sharply realized dialogue and infectiously energetic dance sequences keeps The Last Days of Disco from losing steam.
ReelViews

There is something to say for smart and funny, of course, but dazzlingly brilliant conversation isnt enough if we dont love the people whose mouths ar ..

The film is enjoyable .. because of that great dialogue, good performances by the leads, and a great soundtrack.
Lariat

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 ..
Decider
4.5
With a total of three films under his belt in eight years, Stillman is already self referential.
Film Journal International ..
3.8
A conversation heavy movie that benefits from typically astute writing from its director, Whit Stillman.
Internet Reviews
2.5
For a film about the flame out of a flashy era, The Last Days of Disco is just too languid and verbose.
Internet Reviews
3.8
The film comes alive with its wonderfully complex, intellectual humor that is so dense and fast paced that it might take several viewings to catch it ..
Internet Reviews
4.0
The fun cast and Stillmans clever writing make this admittedly slow moving and talky film a pleasure to listen to and lovely to look at.
Internet Reviews
5.0
Shows that Stillman has finally found out how to make his characters totally lovable, and surprisingly more sympathetic.
Internet Reviews
3.0
Despite the almost total lack of action, the film is engaging and often funny.
Internet Reviews
2.8
The movie is only partially successful in conveying the passion, the erotic heat, the decadence that characterized discos as the new temples.

Salon
4.5
Stillman unfolds discos vectors of power with a historians insight and a novelists eye for satirical nuance.
New Yorker
3.8
A very entertaining film, thanks to an appealing cast ... and those wordy discussions.
Mr Brown Movies
3.8
To his fans (color me guilty), Stillman is like a sardonic Anton Checkov, a man to whom dialogue and repressed emotion are everything.
Spliced Wire
2.5
Stillmans third and most indulgent installment of his autobiographical trilogy ... smirks its way through the early 80s disco heyday.
E Online
4.0
If it had been Stillmans swan song, a director could hardly hope to be prouder of such a strong exit.
Antagony & Ecstasy
3.5
Stillman skips the snark in favor of a sincere appreciation of his slightly lost characters.
Movie Metropolis
2.0
Trouble is, the dancing is usually more interesting than the pretentious things these characters have to say.
Rochester Goes Out
1.8
A squawky, self satisfied bore that isnt likely to get anyones toes tapping.
Nicks Flick Picks
3.8
A fascinating film to watch, whether you were a supporter of the disco movement, or one who cheered when it died.
Cine Matter
3.1
Mr. Stillman more or less saves the movie with Josh, a sweet, muddled guy who deserves better friends than he has in this movie.
4.5
Its a complicated scenario, both hilarious and touching and one too large to be crushed into either a movie synopsis or a movie itself.
eye WEEKLY
3.1
In spite of itself in spite of Stillman this is a lively and often endearing entertainment.
Sacramento Bee
4.0
Stillman has created an affectionate, original and highly memorable tribute to a bygone age.
Empire Online

The performances by the entire ensemble are delightful, with Beckinsale and Keeslar particularly impressive. Of course, it helps that they get most of ..
