My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Metropolitan (1991)

Whit Stillman's film debut as writer and director is a comedy of manners of rich college kids going to small cocktail parties during Christmas break.  Tom Townsend is walking home in the cold when he ends up tagging along with a group of friends to a party.  Tom befriends Nick, an opinionated young man that stands out as the most obnoxious of the group and becomes the target of a crush from Audrey, a cute girl he unknowingly is best suited for even though he is attracted to Serena.  This is a charming Woody Allen like film that feels both original and classy.   Would lose the Oscar for best Original Screenplay from Ghost.  Grade: B+
