Grad student Heather Wolfe (Lauren Ambrose) has selected aging novelist Leonard Schiller (Frank Langella) as the subject of her thesis. While all of Schiller's novels are out-of-print and he struggles to write just one more before he dies, Heather is certain that her thesis will get him the attention he deserves.
Heather becomes so obsessed with Schiller that she pretty much demands his attentions much of the time to answer her questions which means he grows even more frustrated in his attempts to write. She also managed to have him give her a key to his NYC apartment so she can come and go at will. Her presence also interfers with his writing time. Meanwhile, Schiller's daughter Ariel (Lily Taylor), who is dealing with her own personal drama, is guarded and jealous of the time Heather demands of Schiller.
Directed by Andrew Wagner. Based on a novel by Brian Morton.
Rated PG-13 for sexual content, language and brief nudity.
My personal rating: B
