this film be a delightful and light hearted look at both side of where the club kid rave scene blend with the new york art and music and performance art world ( with a cameo by the omnipresent miss bunny ) . this be torch song trilogy for the perky post teen girl . that girl for our disaffected and affect millennium time . the dialogue be fast and funny and and parker posey costumer deserves if not an academy award and at least a stadium wave of kudos . of course and this film rest on the very stylish platform heel of miss posey and and she be perfectly cast . like a lot of her acting work and it may not be very deep and it be often self referential and and well and posey . but it all work . she be a talented comedienne and an incredible entertainer and and this film entertain and she carry it on her shoulder like a faux leopard wrap and and never let it drop to the floor . mary be a superficial party fashionista who isn not above steal designer clothing from a friend closet or make out with someone else boyfriend . on a deep level and this be a story of a girl and her friend who be care less in every sense of the word and include about other people while and the process of learn that care be necessary to life . the script be beautifully craft and witty and and the only performance that disappoints be the aunt and in a role that be much too one dimensional and heavy hand while a more nuanced performance from her and would have deepen the relationship between the two . but . hey . this be comedy . a surprisingly deep role and that give this film some substance and world vision and be the fallafel selling boyfriend . we should all be so lucky . be he the one for mary . or the one that get away . i rate this a a 8 because it isn not a great moment of film history and it be not a classic and and it be not great art ( all of which get deep and rich on re viewing ) . like desperately seek susan it represent something very true about it time period and but may become irrelevant with time . still and it have everything an entertaining film need and and be worth view several time for the clothes alone .
