(MU) Hal Hartley 'deconstrucys' the spy thriller wthout humour and with too many nonsense. In some crucuakl moments, uses simple stop motion! Parker Posey overacts and Goldblum underacts...

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.
