    Utterly original and unique film makes a group of young Park Avenue socialites sympathetic. The witty script rightfully earned an Oscar nomination.

    It started out ok, but there's only a certain amount I can take of watching Manhattan socalite bourgeoisie brats philosophize and go to debutante balls.

    Amusing film...very low-budget and with lots of dialogue. I totally can relate to the Audrey character. She could be me in many ways. Definitely worth a watch.

    I don't know why, but I sort of like this film. There is a very discreet charm and sadness at watching this, it has the ability to bite you hard and watching this, It made me wonder how lucky and how wasteful the developed world can be. I am now sounding like one of them.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Not very much happens in Metropolitan, and yet everything that happens is felt deeply, because the characters in this movie are still too young to have perfected their defenses against life. full review
