Keeping it in the family

I didn't like Zoe Cassavetes' Broken English as much as this critic; Parker Posey (as a Manhattanite who feels her time to find love is running out) is good and has more to do than usual. But she's also saddled with lines like "I hate the smell of my own desperation" and the men she meets feel very familiar. (A loony actor, a guy fresh off his own breakup)

and robbing a little, in the end, from Linklater's "Before Sunset."

That's true too, though without the music of Nina Simone. Drea de Matteo is a welcome surprise as Posey's married best friend. (IFC News)
