Summary: Should come with a dictionary!
Review: For those that lived the era of the Megadiscos this movie is silly! The story line is entertaining yet sometimes hard to follow with all the names being tossed around with $12 words. Imagine a writer who writes about something he has only heard about yet never experienced and you get the feel of the movie. Music that spreads a gap of about 10 years for a club scene set in the early 80's. Dress that also is reminiscent of 1970's but also of 1990's? (What's with the Tommy Hilfiger "rapper"head bandana on the ONE gay couple? )One profound statement exists in the film however, how some will look back on a very influential era and only see John Travolta with his finger in the air in a polyester suit, hedonistic values and widespread drug use. Ah..memories.......

Summary: Chris Eigeman - he is the star!
Review: The Last Days of Disco is a fantastic movie, but only if you are prepared to really listen to the dialogue. The thing that I like most about Whit Stillman's movies is his characters - dissatisfied and confused with their lives as they may be. My favourite actor in all of Stillman's movies is Chris Eigeman, who always plays a cynical character, who is offensive to all, but who I still find likeable. In The Last Days of Disco, Eigeman is Des, a cocaine snorting, womanising underboss in popular nightclub. Look out for the hilarious Lady and the Tramp scene in the movie, as well as the scene where Des snorts some hot coffee because it may contain the same effects as cocaine. This is a movie that gets heavy on dialogue, but is worth it. Even though the characters are pompous, they are extremely well developed and acted. The Last Days of Disco is a fantastic movie, and for me brought alive the disco era in a way that movies such as Studio 54 did not come near. But only for people who like to really watch movies, not just have them on in the background.

Summary: Another good character study from the pre-yuppie days!
Review: A great insight into the late disco era and how it all came down in the end. The film shows us some true to life characters and how each of them dealt with thier own unique circumstances as the times changed politically, musically, and for each individually. Unlike Saturday Night Fever, where Tony Manarro is portrayed as a blue collar type, this cast is set to the tone of post ivy league success and the pressure to become just that. Pre-yuppy types and disco... what else can I say. I enjoyed the film immensely and highly recommend the film to anyone else ... even if you only enjoyed the music from this era.

Summary: Vintage Stillman
Review: After Metropolitan andn Barcelona, one would expect the acting in The Last Days of Disco to be atrocious. That's not the case. For perhaps the first time, Stillman has managed to fuse a reflective story with decent acting. The result is, I think, a movie that just gets better each time you watch it. The more you watch, the more you realise it's just like a Fitzgerald or Hemmingway novel. The conversation about lady and the tramp, the bitchiness of Kate Beckinsale... it all adds up to a great movie. If you have a bit of time to spare, and you're willing to pay attention to it, watch the movie. Whilst Metropolitan and Barcelona were both great (I'm a big Stillman fan), I think The Last Days of Disco shows the director at a new level of maturity.

Summary: Disco Remembered
Review: Given the history of Stillman's other movies, I knew I was in for a movie with pretentious dialog and watchable characters (especially Beckinsale). When the Disco era is now typically remembered, it is defined by promiscuity, tacky polyester clothes and the obnoxious overplayed music of the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack. Not how it was defined for me and none of that here. The soundtrack, clothes and angst of being young and newly independent are very accurate. And as in real life, promiscuity does have its consequences. If you want to hear some of the better disco music and see an accurate depiction of an era that most remember fondly, you won't be disappointed. If your battle cry at the time was DISCO SUCKS! this movie is not for you.

Summary: Can you see the Emperor's new clothes?
Review: The reviewers who gave this movie 4-5 stars really need help. To think that anyone in the world uses dialogue found in this movie is ludicrous. Some may say that only 'intelligent' or 'patient' people will appreciate the gramatically proficient performances. In reality this movie is terrible and those that enjoy it are no doubt slow witted and boring souls who try to define themselves by what they pretend to understand. There is nothing to this movie beyond a failed attempt to create an intellectual journey. I can't believe more people do not see this movie for what it really is...nothing.

Summary: A good antidote to exploding helicopter movies
Review: If you can't stand to watch another exploding helicopter, "Disco" and the other two Whit Stillman movies are a good antidote. The characters actually say interesting things. You may want to watch "Metropolitan" before watching "The Last Days of Disco" to understand the world the characters come from. You may be a little misled by watching "Metropolitan" first, though. It's a simple, gentle story while "Barcelona" and "Disco" are sexier and set in more exotic locales. Some reviewers didn't like these movies because the characters speak articulately in fully-formed, grammatically-correct sentences. I can see where they might mistake it for bad writing or acting. The bio commentary on the "Disco" DVD talks about the film crew being impressed by the Sevigny and Beckinsale's ability to recreate New England prep school speech - an indication that preppies really talk that way. I'm from California where we're all inarticulate, so I wouldn't know. Ultimately, I don't care - people don't break out singing in real life, either, but you wouldn't want to do away with musicals. Notice that the non-preppy characters in these movies talk like "normal" people.

Summary: A classic
Review: "The Last Days of Disco" superbly completes a unique trilogy. This movie requires attention because there is a lot of dialogue. If you are in your late 20's or early 30's and are a fan of thoughtful films see this immediately.

Summary: I had to turn it off after an hour
Review: I had to turn off this yawn-fest after an hour due to the poor acting, the hollow pseudo-intellectualisms, and the barely-nonexistent plot.
