   Is damsels in distress a good movie?

   • Damsels in Distress isn't quite as majestic and enthusiastic. It's rather monotone, uninteresting, and groggy for the most part. What a shame since this is director Whit Stillman's return to film after a thirteen year hiatus. The storyline concerns those four girls as they go about their lives at this preppy Ivy League school.

   What is a damsel in distress?

   • Held captive by evil forces, a damsel in distress is a fictional pawn whose peril holds more importance than—and essentially takes the place of—any kind of character development. Frequently female (but not always), she has limited agency and must take a backseat to the hero’s triumphant journey.

   How does damsels in distress end?

   • Damsels in Distress concludes with a random song-and-dance number almost cementing the fact that there was no conceivable way to completely end this sort of story. It's choppy and inconsistent. But it all looks pretty. Starring: Greta Gerwig, Adam Brody, Analeigh Tipton, Megalyn Echikunwoke, Carrie MacLemore, Hugo Becker, and Ryan Metcalf.

   Is damsels in distress a satire?

   • Damsels in Distress seems like a satire lost at sea. It's satirizing, or attempting to, Ivy League life and the strange quirks it possesses. The problem is it never fully gets a grip and forms an agenda on what it wants to parody.
