Review of Inherent Vice (2014) by Elijah1990 — 30 Jan 2015

I do believe everyone is entitled to their opinion, but how a single person was entertained by this film is beyond me. PTA has some great work under his belt (There Will Be Blood, Punch Drunk Love, and Magnolia personal favs) and this is easily his worst and least entertaining piece to date.

Joaquin mumbles his lines, random characters babble nonsense, a scene ends with an obscene gesture, rinse and repeat. There's no denying there are some great "meandering" films out there, nice camerawork and good actors will only take you so far with a screenplay like this.

This was a shrill experience and one of the worst art-house films I've seen in a while.
