Entertainment Reviews:
...Stillman has a disarming ace....[METROPOLITAN] engrosses and charms... -- 3 out of 4 stars
USA Today
Stillman films these rounds of romance and jealousy, old mind-sets and new friendships, as scintillating dialectical jousts in which verbal blows take the place of action and leave lasting emotional wounds.

Whit Stillman's directorial debut is a terrifically satirical portrayal of the upper echelons of New York society.
