Fay Grim - Starring Parker Posey NOW ON DVD

faygrimfilm.com Fay Grim, a single Mom from Woodside, Queens, is afraid her 14 year old son, Ned, will grow up to be like his father, Henry, who has been missing for seven years. Fay's brother Simon is serving ten years in prison for aiding in Henry's escape from the law. In the quiet of his cell, Simon has had time to think about the tumultuous years of Henry's presence among them--chronicled in Hartley's earlier film HENRY FOOL(1998). He has come to suspect that Henry was not the man he appeared to be. His suspicions are validated when the CIA asks Fay to travel to Paris to retrieve Henry's property. Her mission turns into a sprawling con-game, pitching Fay deep into a world of international espionage. NOW ON DVD

I'd no idea a sequel to "Henry Fool" existed. My kneejack reaction,... mainstream schlockwreck. But, Hartley's films are pieces of deliberate scripting and delivery - actors acting as people, who act. A lot of truth there (watch Malick's work and see the real, quirky behavior of people wondering how 'to be'). So this takes it to another level. Parker Posey is the one encompassing all of that - self centered, insecure, image oriented, vulnerable, Long Island bitch wannabe. All good.

so oddly enough my father watched this movie yesterday and went on and on about it how much he loved parker posey he was all she played all those supporting rolls in those comedeys but she can really hold her own and carry a movie..i was like dad what are you her publicist? very funny coment from someone who has never said anything like that before about movies lol

[freemoviezdl]

nice movie

[adeanyin]

It's a sequel to Henry Fool but somehow completely stands on it's own legs. Henry fool was more sad and this one was a bit more dark comedy. Parker is amazing and also Simon is the guy who voices Dr. Venture on The Venture Bros.!

...it is... lol

You'd be surprised... or maybe not. Parker's comedic talent is evident regardless of the role. It's impossible to cover - her facial expressions and tone are unique to it.

this movie is so fucking excellent,in every way-the dialogue tempo is the way Hal directs movies.This film is kind of a reunion of many of the HH greats,even the themes-but the story in this one is so good,so many details,and cool twists.

It is Parker at her most dazzling,for real.

I wathced it lastnite,and suddenly got real down and mad about another great Hal Hartley star, Adrienne Shelley-

the Unbelievable Truth and Trust,those movies are beautiful,and she in them,damn that sucks

"They're the CIA, Simon. The government of the United States of America. God, get with it."

i love the way she said those lines. sounds a little bit sarcastic, yet a little bit innocent. gotta see this one. i saw broken english, my first parker film, on saturday.  realllly enjoyed it.

Language (f-bomb) and there's a scene of sexuality (they don't show anything but it's HEAVILY implied), a stripper scene, sexual language, and thematic elements
