PRO REVIEWS
----------------------------------------
"An utter delight" (Leslie Felperin: Variety) ----------------------------------------
"Wonderful, elevating frivolity! Whit Stillman's funniest and most accessible film" (Rene Rodriguez: Miami Herald) ----------------------------------------
"Gilded by a giddy Greta Gerwig, Damsels In Distress is a sharp, daffy, eccentric delight. Stillman may be an acquired taste, but no-one else is making films like this. Cherish it. (...) Rating: **** (out of four)" (Ian Freer: Empire) ----------------------------------------
