Featuring everybody's favorite indie starlet, Parker Posey plays the title role as a hilariously dazed single mother who falls into a web of international espionage like Alice falling down the rabbit hole. A sequel to , Grim reunites the original characters a decade later.

Stopping just short of spoofing the spy/thriller genre altogether, the film's wobbly yet straight faced style hit all the right notes with the festival audience. Hartley himself was there to introduce the film with an unintelligible but endearingly brief statement, and apologizing for Posey's absence as she had hurt her wrist earlier in the day.
