Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Like a degree in gender studies, there's no payoff.

The film would probably drag if it weren't so perfectly cast, especially with the gawky-beautiful Gerwig as its center.

For the most part, it's a film filled with simple pleasures...

fresh:
Damsels in Distress ambles about amiably without much of a narrative: Plot has never been Stillman's strong suit, and in this film he seems particularly indifferent to its demands.

rotten:
There's a self-consciousness to "Damsels" that takes away much of the fun.
