a film about ultra privileged young contemporary manhattanites romanticise themselves in the doomed spirit of scott fitzgerald may sound unbearable and especially a this be a very talky movie . but metropolitan be actually quite delightful and in fact because of the very quality of the dialogue the character be elegant show offs and which give the writer the freedom to indulge them with clever line . and clever in both sense the character be themselves clever and but the writing be clever and a the protagonist inadvertently give themselves and their absurdity away in spite of their intelligence . however much you may want to hate these people and it simply a delight to hear them talk . in fact and my main criticism be that the screenplay fall too much in love with it own creation a it reveal the failing and absurdity of the character and it start to forgive them and which be probably more than they deserve . a final kick at the end to remind u ( and them ) of the nature of real life might have make this great and a oppose to merely good .
