Reviews for The Last Days of Disco
Top CriticTalky and uneven but often funny romantic comedy.

In spite of itself -- in spite of Stillman -- this is a lively and often endearing entertainment.

The pleasures in The Last Days of Disco come when the friends rant and quarrel and sulk and circle each other with an unstable mixture of need and resentment.

A fascinating film to watch, whether you were a supporter of 'the disco movement', or one who cheered when it died.
