The Last Days of Disco
Overview
Two young women and their friends spend spare time at an exclusive nightclub in 1980s New York.
Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The pleasures in The Last Days of Disco come when the friends rant and quarrel and sulk and circle each other with an unstable mixture of need and resentment.
[Stillman] nails his characters with perfectly heard dialogue and laconic satire.
In its last hour, the picture becomes more clumsy and tiresome, but the stray laugh and the disco sound keep it pulsing.
The combination of sharply-realized dialogue and infectiously energetic dance sequences keeps The Last Days of Disco from losing steam.
