Damsels In Distress

Plot: Four pretty girls, a group of rowdy boys, a quintessential college campus, and Whit Stillman at the helm of it all- did I hear you say “the perfect recipe for yet another chick-flick”? If that’s what you are thinking, you shall be in for a massive surprise as you watch Damsels in Distress online. Powered by simple, yet beautifully believable performances, the movie is the kind that presents you with what you are least expecting, leaving you completely dumbfounded. At the movie’s center, is a clique of college-going girls, each with their own personal battles and eccentricities. Violet, despite being the awkward one of the group, is the de-facto leader, who binds them together, and decides their modus operandi. These girls though, unlike their ‘ Mean Girls’ counterparts, who were hell bent on making life a nightmare for their foes, are on a more sensible mission, which is to get to the bottom of the sadness that seems to be lurking beneath every smiling face on their campus. The great thing about the movie is that the reason behind the wave of depression spreading amongst these youngsters, is not some supernatural force, as we are so used to seeing on just about every TV show and film, but is the oft-ignored superficialities that prevail in nearly every college campus around the country. With the help of her friends- the cute but airheaded Rose, and the drop-dead gorgeous Heather- Violet sets off on a mission to put down the male bullies who seem to be in every nook and alley of the college campus, and to give every student a newfound desire to live and be happy. Transfer student Lily, who is a reflection of a typical American girl, joins the group later, adding an interesting flavor to the mix.
