How Posey's neurotic, self-destructive heroine finds her way to healing is the core of this generous film, whose moral is that happiness can't begin unless you're open to its possibility.

Posey's admirers will experience a sensual intoxication that fans always experience when their film goddesses are at their very best.

This isn't the best independent film we've seen starring Miss Posey, but she is the reason this one works.

a tired retread of Sex and the City, with all the same preoccupations and issues but with none of the fun

When Nora decides to take yet another risk against her better judgment, the film leaves to you to judge it as quixotic, vexing, or fitting.

You might be a little surprised or at least amused when the caustic, tired, joyous, frantic roller coaster stops.

A likable but wan romance.

Ultimately, the only wisdom you leave with is the implausibly wise pocket philosophy gleaned from romantic strangers on the streets of an idealized France.

...neither the story nor the well-acted characters quite engage our interest or sympathy.

Parker Posey is game in 'Broken English,' although the limited conception of her giggly insecure Nora Wilder is too thin for ninety-six minutes.

Posey gives a committed performance, and Justin Theroux is good as an overindulged movie star. But almost nothing that's said or done here is convincing. And the energy is set at near-coma level.

Filmmaking is a family affair for the Cassavetes, and Zoe inherits the unpretentious, performance-driven style from her father, John, while delivering a love story that's accessible enough for mainstream audiences, a trick learned from her brother Nick.

Zoe Cassavetes' new film Broken English is a delight, and as a debut film shows that we can expect good things from her.

Cassavetes supplies no easy answers or easy laughs, forgoing romantic-comedy beats in respect for Nora's desperation. Call this confection a romantic-dramedy with humor on wry.

It's pretty clear where this is going from the first frame, though Posey's performance does keep you interested.

[Cassavetes] treats cliches as fodder for comedy and nuances as the mainstays of a deeper, more beguiling sexual humor. What's engaging about this movie is that all the conventional trysts become low-key nightmare farce.

Parker Posey is one of those rare performers who can elevate a mediocre film into a good one and a good one into a great one simply by the sheer force of her personality.
