But never fear, there are stats compiled just for museums, both globally and in the US.

"Until the End of Time" is encyclopedic in its ambition and its erudition, often heartbreaking, stuffed with too many profundities that I wanted to quote, as well as potted descriptions of the theories of a galaxy of contemporary thinkers, from Chomsky to Hawking, and anecdotes from Greene's own life — of which we should wish for more — that had me laughing.

With their fastidious scripts, loopy erudition and pitch-perfect sets (from the rumpled sofas of a Park Avenue living room in "Metropolitan" to the Greek Revival village that was the fictitious college of "Damsels in Distress," out in 2012), a Stillman movie presented such a particular worldview — the inner lives of the over-educated — that he was quickly and inevitably dubbed the WASP Woody Allen.

Jay Caspian Kang, a writer at large for The New York Times Magazine, contends that his allure may be smaller than it appears in the fun-house mirror of national political commentary, shaped largely as it is by white, educated, upper-middle-class tastes: With his air of decency and grab bag of gifted-and-talented party tricks, he doesn't so much represent the will of the Democratic electorate but rather the aspirations of its educated elite, maybe especially those who see a shrinking market for their erudition.
