Review of Inherent Vice (2014) by Sanserif — 12 Dec 2014
It's sort of a murder mystery. But there's no suspense. Oh and it's also sort of a buddy cop movie. But we don't actually care about anybody. Oh and it's also like, sort of a tragic romance. But there's no love in it.
So...
I guess that makes it clever? I don't know. I didn't read the book so maybe I'm missing the point. Or maybe my brain is not smart enough for the film. I don't know. In the end I wasn't entertained, so to me, the movie is a failure.
However...
If you desperately want to be confused, watch people get stoned and slam telephones, and laugh occasionally at Josh Brolin, you may enjoy this. If you're expecting PTA to tell a satisfying story about people you care about, just go watch Magnolia again. Maybe he should too.
