The Last Days of Disco felt like spending two hours at a party where everyone is trying to sound smarter than everyone else and somehow I mean that as a compliment.
Whit Stillman somehow makes endless conversations weirdly entertaining, and the whole film feels like a time capsule of a moment when disco was fading but nobody quite knew what was coming next. The dialogue is sharp, the characters are frustratingly real, and the soundtrack is so good that I genuinely couldn't stop moving my feet or honestly my entire body through half the film.
It's funny, insightful, and effortlessly cool. Also, after watching this, I'm convinced every life problem in the early 80s could either be caused by or solved on a dance floor.
