The Misadventures of Margaret

Parker Posey very good, as usual, appearing, as usual, in a unique, funny, provocative, offbeat story. Margaret's reality rarely meets her expectations (she's a novelist). In love and monogamous, jealousy drives her to seek an affair. Of course she finds... Full review
