i have read a lot of comment about the film and how it so hard for people to believe that it be a sequel to henry fool and and even though it technically be and i think that fay grim need to be look at a an entirely different film . just because it be the sequel doesn not mean that it have to be a direct continuation of the first and and i enjoy that so much about it . the whole point of the film be to change direction from the first and which make sense because the movie isn not call henry fool 2 and it fay grim . all that aside and the film and i thought and be so well make and think out that it actually surprise me . i be expect to rent another nearly release straight to video film and have to endure 2 hour of bad editing and an almost hard to follow story line ( aka parker last direct to video feature the oh in ohio ) but this be so surprisingly well focus that it almost doesn not seem so and which i absolutely love . there be so many nuance in the film making and write that i crave to see in film and but never do . the cinematography be brilliant due to it simplicity and truly make the film seem grim throughout in term of set . the writing be so well put together as well and whoever say this movie isn not as witty a henry fool need to watch again and actually listen while i almost can not even begin to explain how actually hilarious it be and and pertinent . and well and parker posey and who could complain . the scene in which fool and jalal be talk in the dark be so captivating and emotional . and i think the spy ness throughout the film be just so hilarious and spot on ( in hindsight because i do agree that at time during you kind of felt lose ) . the main thing that strike me so powerfully about the film and and i believe the point of the film and be parker love and naivety about fool and which be so endearing and turned and yes very quickly and from denial to outright passion . the last five minute of the film be perfect . obviously there be thing that weren not excellent and but nothing be perfect while some of the acting be poor and and at time i do think that some of the new back story and dialogue about terrorism get a little hard to follow and out of hand and but in the end you get it and do not even mind that at the time it may have slip from your comprehension . ( this may also have to do with goldblum tendency to talk extremely fast ) on the whole i would say that it be probably one of the best film i have see this year while stylistically please and clever and witty writing and performance that be so impressive i now have gain new respect for some of the actor and and a truly touching film and and do not forget and a complete departure from fool . which be the point .
