The A.V. Club - Noel Murray
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.
88
Slant Magazine - Unnamed
The clash of styles in Damsels in Distress is bewildering and then disarming.
80
Time Out - Keith Uhlich
Too many movies come to us as preordained cult objects - this is the real deal.
75
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Rick Groen
This is a mannered comedy, more stylized and theatrical, almost surreal at times, and less accommodating to his trademark brand of razor-sharp dialogue.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - Unnamed
Highbrow campus-comedy from long-lost Whit Stillman is a flawed but frequently hilarious comeback.
