His motto: "I see bad movies so you don't have to."A real patience tester
Minimalist filmmaking makes this a real patience tester. There is some poignancy to the sweet relationship between a popular but completely unambitious actor (the oddly charismatic yet pitiful Stephen Dorff) holed up in the Chateau Marmont and his 11-year-old daughter (Elle Fanning) who comes to visit.
Grade: C
