Sally S 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.) Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/14/25 Full Review Audience Member I hated this movie. Besides the fact that it's just a mix of random, alt people= there wasn't any actual story to it. I gave it a half star for the 2 or 3 mildly funny things, otherwise there isn't really a movie here. Also, WTF are these people doing for money? No one seems to work, they all party, and aren't broke or starving?!?! How do I sign up for that life? Pfft. Smells like Bullshit. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review Audience Member It’s interesting as a film that explores the theme of emotional maturity over time. I like how she grows but never really changes, it’s just that now she knows what she wants. This is a great film that I think more people should check out. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Horror fan 4 Nice cast but this movie was boring. Wasn't funny or interesting. Tim Treakle Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Massoud H I am revisiting Parker Posey's work in light of the renewed attention to her because of White Lotus. This film was entertaining and a fascinating time capsule. I did of course think certain things were silly in a bad way, but a lot of the silliness was very enjoyable. Overall, I enjoyed both the form and substance of the film -- both the superficial entertainment elements and the deeper portrait of a person and a place in time. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/25 Full Review Philip G Back when we GenXers were still young, beautiful, and wasted. Film meanders and is not really about much at all, but it is fun enough Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Read all reviews
