Reviews for Hollywood Buddha
Caland is effortlessly cool as the half-charming, half-annoying wannabe (he'd make an ideal Euro-baddie in a thriller), and the film is all the funnier because it's played totally straight.
This off-putting satire is a jumble of misguided ideas that gather like lint in the navel of self-obsessed director Philippe Caland.
Hollywood Buddha isn't remotely funny or pointed enough to qualify as satire.
At once a woefully overfamiliar bashing of Hollywood superficiality and a seemingly unwitting paean to the self-absorbed enlightenment that passes among industry folk for personal growth.
The quintessential indie with Caland's mother and wife joining him in the cast, it still held my interest, despite its many contrivances.
