Hide and Seek

I can’t imagine what the filmmakers did to poor little Dakota Fanning to make her look so wan in this thriller, short of filling her with tequila shots the night before filming. She plays a dour kid who moves with her father (Robert De Niro) after her
mother’s suicide to rural New York, where she meets a dangerous imaginary friend. For his part, De Niro plays it so close to the vest that the friend has more screen presence.
