Reviews

Jay Carr wrote in the Boston Globe that the film would be remembered for the intelligent dialogue and soundtrack. The end of the nightclub also means the end of the characters' youth. Chloë Sevigny and Kate Beckinsale would work together "symbiotically".

Kenneth Turan wrote in the Los Angeles Times that director Whit Stillman makes "wonderful" films about insecure young people. The characters are drawn as precisely as the characters in Jane Austen's novels . Turan praised the portrayal of Kate Beckinsale, who, although British, speaks without an accent in the film.
