Metropolitan (1990)


 

 
A group of young upper-class Manhattanites are blithely passing through the gala debutante season, when an unusual outsider joins them and stirs them up. 
 
A brilliant and witty take on an absurd Upper class phenomenon is intelligently handled with an excellent cast of newcomers and quite entertaining appearing like a modern variant of a Jane Austen novel. 
 
Halliwell***: "A conversation piece with wit and style to recommend it."

Maltin***: "Title might suggest teeming masses, but this thoroughly original little film looks instead at N.Y.C.'s upper class...Social comedy, brimming with irony...Sharply written by first-time director Stillman and well acted by cast of newcomers; Eigeman, as Nick, is a standout."
