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.

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.
