If you loved Mortal Thoughts, try Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle

What they share
Both films are directed by Alan Rudolph. If that's the register that drew you to Mortal Thoughts, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle is
Gosford Park without the country estate. Flashbacks evoke literary New York's Algonquin Round Table. The writers drink, brawl, and bed-hop, while Dorothy Parker struggles to find her place. Jennifer Jason Leigh embodies Parker's mordant spirit.
