“Highly quotable, incredibly hilarious, and remarkably intelligent. Had the pleasure of going to a Q&A with Stillman at the Cinefamily after a screening of this film.”

“I used to tell people that I wanted to be like the black gay Whit Stillman. He's such a dandy and a fop and writes about people that you don't see written about very often.”
