"The sequel to Henry Fool. I found its predecessor to be much more effective in its narrative, while this film takes a rather clumsy approach at an entirely new - almost opposing - style of genre. While the dark humor is still apparent, its cleverness dwindles by the end, and its conclusions still leaves many outcomes suspended and questions unanswered. "

Top 10 Strangest Sequels Ever Made (10 movies items)

"6. FAY GRIM Ten years after the events of HENRY'S FOOL, director, Hal Hartley, replaces the literary themes and real life drama surrounding the rise and fall of two likable characters with espionage and national security. It`s like having a James Bond movie follow up DEAD POETS SOCIETY with the exact same cast. "

“Hal Hartley's "Henry Fool". Ten Years Later.

Fay Grim (Parker Posey) is coerced by a charming CIA agent (Jeff Goldblum) to locate notebooks which belonged to her fugitive ex-husband Henry Fool (Thomas Jay Ryan). The notebooks contain information that could compromises the national security of the USA.

Parker Posey's acting is very theatrical and boring. She was very badly directed.

Jeff Goldblum, as always, is wonderful, and obviously a master at grasping the writers' sarcasm.

For the life of me, I couldn't figure out if this film was a dark comedy, a romantic drama, or a thriller - it's all of that, but badly done despite the brilliant cast.

Giving it 3/10 is already pretty generous.
