One of the great American independent films of the 1990s, the surprise hit Metropolitan, by writer-director Whit Stillman, is a sparkling comedic chronicle of a young man’s romantic misadventures while trying to fit in to New York City’s debutante society. Stillman’s deft, literate dialogue and hilariously highbrow observations earned this first film an Academy Award nomination for best original screenplay. Beneath the wit and sophistication, though, lies a tender tale of adolescent anxiety. (Criterion)

While the script of Metropolitan is definitely very well written and has moments that are great, and even though the dialogue isn't boring, somehow I just couldn't get into the film overall, as if I somehow just disliked all the characters that are presented and didn't enjoy watching them. ()
