BROKEN ENGLISH

Parker Posey is one of the more underrated actresses in Hollywood. I first took notice of her in the 1990's classic DAZED AND CONFUSED, and have enjoyed following her career ever since. Despite many terrific performances she rarely gets much recognition...and despite another great performance in BROKEN ENGLISH that's not likely to change. Posey plays a lonely thrity-something who desperately wants to meet Mr. Right, but unfortunately keeps meeting a string of Mr. Wrongs. The movie is just average, and slow at times, but Posey's facial expressions and body language are the stuff of a big time talent. Parker Posey is an independent film icon, and proves it here in her usual way. 2 1/2 of 5 hs
