The House of Yes

(Miramax)

Parker Posey is Jackie-O, the privileged, psychopathic daughter of the serenely twisted Mrs. Pascal (Geneviève Bujold), who mysteriously disappeared on the day John Kennedy was assassinated. Posey plays Jackie-O's resulting Camelot fetish brilliantly, and Bujold is just as good. But the two performances are all that hold together this flimsy structure of forced whimsy, contrived absurdity, and hit-and-miss outrageousness.
