Preview: Broken English (2007)

• Poster: C

Review:

I am unimpressed with the poster. There is little substance to it and only barely engages emotional responses and probably the wrong ones.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

Parker Posey is a competent actress, more so than many these days. However, yet another Paris-set film this year could be overkill. This might be a successful one, but I'm sensing a brief art-circuit run and some critical praise to Posey and that wil be the end of it.

Oscar Prospects:

Oscar has never taken Posey seriously and I don't see this as the vehicle that takes her there. The battlefield of strong women's roles will be littered with corpses when Oscar is forced to select only five.

Release Date:

• June 22, 2007
