A slice of life about the courtship rituals of young white affluent Manhattanites about 5 seconds before AIDS changed everything and 10 years before the entire island began bending to their will. Whit Stillman’s comedies of the mannered retain their droll charm, and sharp turns from Chloë Sevigny, Kate Beckinsale, and Stillman stalwart Chris Eigeman linger. -Lee Gardner
