Even though I'm not sure I understand what Stillman was going for minute-to-minute, I was swept away by how original Damsels is, and how funny.

The clash of styles in Damsels in Distress is bewildering and then disarming.

Too many movies come to us as preordained cult objects - this is the real deal.

This is a mannered comedy, more stylized and theatrical, almost surreal at times, and less accommodating to his trademark brand of razor-sharp dialogue.

Highbrow campus-comedy from long-lost Whit Stillman is a flawed but frequently hilarious comeback.
