Party Girl — 3/5
I see the lasting appeal. It's not quite indie, not quite a romantic comedy, not quite a coming-of-age tale. The flexing across genres keeps it interesting even if the pieces don't altogether fit. It's loose, barely held together by a thin glue of just-amateurish-enough, with Parker Posey holding on to the edges as they start to fall away. Posey's Mary is a proto-Lena Dunham girl; post-college and lost and kind of an asshole. She's got the confidence of a rich kid without being a rich kid. The whole movie is 'Clueless' for a different sort.
