PARTY GIRL

Cinemavixion Review

Daisy von Scherler Mayer's "Party Girl" is a vibrant and unexpectedly charming portrayal of transformation, anchored by a captivating performance from Parker Posey. As Mary, a quintessential New York club kid, Posey navigates a life of late nights and impromptu parties with infectious energy. The film takes an intriguing turn when Mary finds herself indebted to her godmother, a librarian, leading her to take a job in the very institution she once scorned. What unfolds is a delightful exploration of finding purpose in the most unlikely of places, as Mary grapples with the Dewey Decimal System and discovers a new facet of herself. The supporting cast, including Liev Schreiber, adds depth to this 1995 indie gem, which, despite its comedic premise, offers a surprisingly poignant look at self-discovery and reinvention. With an 82% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, "Party Girl" remains a testament to Posey's undeniable charisma and the film's enduring appeal.
