‘Party Girl’

Share

Mary (Parker Posey, pictured with Omar Townsend), the party girl of the 1995 “Party Girl,” is the Gen X Holly Golightly of the Manhattan club scene. Unlike most of the Hollywood Gen X movies, “Party Girl” actually looks as if it were made from the inside, and has the courage of its own no-braininess. What’s original about Mary’s saga is that she ends up the quintessential good girl but with a twist. She’s “good” in the same way that she’s “bad.” It’s all a performance, a pose. Omar Townsend co-stars (HBO early Monday at 5:25 a.m.).
