LAURENCE H @SkipC 5d I didn't care about the plot, or lack thereof; but something about Mary (Parker Posey) and most of those cast around her held my interest. Being a native New York City boy who's been away for over a half-century, I added a half a star for faithful location details. I miss the City.

No. Parker Posey easily carries this movie as a whole but the others are just embarrassing. The visuals and aesthetic are great but the dialogue and story are kind meh. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Aug 30 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Sally S @RT09831543 08/13/2025 Terrible writing, terribly cliched characters (with no character development whatsoever). But Parker Posey is a favorite of mine, and she's her usual charming, quirky self. And as a former library clerk and club-goer and NYC-dweller, I did like the themes of the movie. So an extra half-star for Posey/themes. But, overall, "Party Girl" is extremely poorly made---not because of the low budget, but because of the overall bad writing/direction. And even the music was bad---and 90s club music was a main feature of this film! I'm guessing that with their budget, they couldn't get rights to the actual songs played in clubs in the mid-90s? There are several DJ scenes that fall VERY flat because the DJ is supposed to be pumping up both club-goers and us viewers---but nothing he plays is interesting or exciting. I'd recommend this for Posey fans only. Or for later researchers exploring how bad '90s independent films were and why they were ever lauded. (For example: Somehow, "Watermelon Woman," 1996---equally bad---made it to the US Library of Congress Film Registry; hopefully we, as a culture, will be revisiting and editing this list later.)
