In Damsels in Distress, the first movie from filmmaker Whit Stillman (The Last Days of Disco) in fourteen years, Tipton plays Lily, a naïve young woman who arrives at the campus of Seven Oaks where she’s pulled into the fold of a group of girls led by Greta Gerwig’s Violet, whose goal is to save the boorish male populace of the school. Violet and her crew certainly mean well as they use donuts and tapdancing to help depressed students at the “suicide center,” but Lily is having her own guy problems and soon starts questioning Violet’s intentions. The movie features the sort of clever writing and sharp dialogue Stillman is known for as well as a terrific young ensemble cast that includes Adam Brody (“The O.C.”), Aubrey Plaza (“Parks and Recreation”), Zach Woods (“The Office”), Megalyn Echikunwoke, Carrie MacLemore, Caitlin Fitzgerald and more.
