Damsels in Distress

2012 · 99 min

A quirky, talky campus comedy that feels like a gentle, eccentric daydream with dry wit and offbeat charm.

Tagline: For these girls... it's not what you learn, it's whom you educate.
Overview: A trio of beautiful girls set out to revolutionize life at a grungy American university: the dynamic leader Violet Wister, principled Rose and sexy Heather. They welcome transfer student Lily into their group which seeks to help severely depressed students with a program of good hygiene and musical dance numbers.
How it feels: Whimsical, satirical, warm and light. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Friendship, identity, coming-of-age, isolation
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
