Under the Silver Lake

(2018)

This gets off to a promising start, and we always enjoy seeing our old neighborhood around Echo Park and Silverlake in Los Angeles, but it soon gets too clever for its own good, trying to be some sort of air of arty superiority. By the middle of the film I was debating whether or not to finish it. I did, but I’d advise you not to.
