My Take
Parker Posey is proof that a career built on taste can outlast one built on fame. Time crowned her Queen of the Indies in 1997, and decades later the title still fits: she gravitates toward strange, prickly, fascinating characters that no conventional star would touch. I find her screen presence almost chemically unstable — you never know whether a scene will tip into comedy or menace, and that unpredictability is precious. The Emmy and Golden Globe nominations feel almost beside the point; her real award is a filmography with no boring entries. Add the singing and the mandolin, and you get a true original. American cinema needs more of her kind.
