Review of Inherent Vice (2014) by Cath O — 31 Jan 2015

Entertainment value puts this movie up to four stars even though, in many ways, it is kind of sloppy, lazy, and weird. Runs a long time, but you are never bored. Should win some kind of award for number of characters and plot threads it loses along the.

way. More interesting character and funny scenes than another other three movies you see in a year. Also, very good acting and direction. Script is all over the place but there should be movies like this.

Don't expect and lot of emotion other than amusement. A lot like Birdman with fewer great scenes, but is better in that it doesn't take itself nearly as seriously.
