Synopsis

In this neo-noir black comedy thriller, Sam (Andrew Garfield) is a scruffy and seemingly aimless 33-year-old who is part of “…an entire generation of men obsessed with video games and secret codes” (as one character describes it). He’s motivated to action when his neighbor, Sarah (Riley Keough), seems to vanish overnight – leaving her apartment vacant. Although they hardly knew each other, a shared kiss from the night she vanishes fuels Sam’s obsession about figuring out what happened to her. He traverses an interesting and sometimes dark Los Angeles in his quest to solve what becomes a convoluted mystery. Written and directed by David Robert Mitchell and also starring Topher Grace.

This is a very slow burn of a movie. Film Noir through and through. Think Big Lebowski, KISS Me Deadly, The Long Goodbye, with a healthy dose of David Lynch. Long running time but fun to see all the LA locations and odd humor and violence. Stoner detective may sum it up best.

No matter how shaggy and self-indulgent it is, or how anticlimactic its big so-what of an ending ends up being, I was never bored. More than that, I kind of dug its sheer swing-for-the-fences insanity.

Mitchell’s third film feels like a script that was locked in a drawer after numerous rejections but now can be brought out and pushed through with clout earned from the success of It Follows.

The ambition of Under the Silver Lake is worth cherishing. It will either evaporate into nothingness or cohere into something you’ll want to hug for being so wonderfully weird.
