[Stillman] nails his characters with perfectly heard dialogue and laconic satire.

Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 3.5/5 --
If this film ... doesn't fully rise to the lovely vibrancy of Barcelona, it still extends the witty, quizzical style of Stillman's social comedies onto inviting new terrain.

Rating: 4/5 --
Sharp-eyed and charming.

...Accomplished film-making....Fine performances and polished wit...
Sight and Sound
A masterful evocation of the giddiness and instantaneous nostalgia of waning youth.
Film Comment
Stillman unfolds disco's vectors of power with a historian's insight and a novelist's eye for satirical nuance.

If it had been Stillman's swan song, a director could hardly hope to be prouder of such a strong exit.

Antagony & Ecstasy
Product Description:
The third in Whit Stillman's excellent trio of talkative yet thought-provoking odes to days gone by. This installment is set in the Manhattan of the early 80's (chronologically between "Metropolitan" and "Barcelona") as the hedonistic disco era is on the wane and the money-grubbing self-absorbed era of junk bonds and MTV is on the rise. Two conservative recent Hampshire College graduates slave away as editorial assistants by day and vampy party-goers by night. Witty thoughtful banter moves this film along without the need for an oppressive disco soundtrack or gratuitous drug usage that seem to permeate films of the timeframe.
Product Description:
THE LAST DAYS OF DISCO brings to a close American cinema raconteur extraordinaire Whit Stillman's unofficial trilogy about the neuroses of the young and upscale. Following Metropolitan and Barcelona, this is a clever and sparkling return to the nighttime party scene in early eighties Manhattan. At the center of Stillman's roundelay of revelers are the icy, commanding Charlotte (Kate Beckinsale) and the demure, pragmatic Alice (Chloe Sevigny), by day toiling as publishing house assistants, and by night looking for romance and entertainment at a premier, Studio 54'like club. Brimming with Stillman's trademark dry humor, The Last Days of Disco is an affectionate yet unsentimental look at the end of an era.
