Deptford Cinema hosts a Greta Gerwig Appreciation Evening ahead of her very probable Golden Globe, Academy Award wins!
At Seven Oaks College, three dynamic coeds -- Violet (Greta Gerwig), Rose (Megalyn Echikunwoke) and Heather (Carrie MacLemore) -- set out to change the boorish male atmosphere and rescue their fellow students from depression, grunge and low standards. They spot Lily (Analeigh Tipton) at a student orientation and welcome her into their group. However, when the gals become romantically entangled with a series of men, the fallout threatens their friendship and sanity.
“Whit Stillman’s whimsical campus comedy Damsels in Distress is an utter delight. Making a welcome return after a long sabbatical following 1998’s The Last Days of Disco, Stillman proves he still knows how to write crackling, articulate dialogue for quirky preppie characters whom he loves laughing at as much as with.”
