"These days, independent film might be a somewhat shapeless category, but Posey has managed to keep some semblance of the original indie spirit alive: realism with a whiff of strangeness, the push to expose the dark underbelly of everyday life. And so one can only imagine what she will bring to “New Girl,” in which Deschanel’s character is pure pixie dream minus the manic,a cotton candy heroine in a flouncy dress."
