Review of Under the Silver Lake (2018) by Crazystupidjake — 30 Jul 2019
To say I was anticipating this film would be a massive understatement. I wanted to wait to see it in theaters but I had another 4 months to go and I couldn’t hold out any longer so I streamed it so long ago.
I will definitely be rewatching this over-and-over again in the coming months so I won’t try to capture all my feelings right now but I pretty much loved every single aspect of Under the Silver Lake.
Andew Garfield’s performance and character are very different than I was expecting but they were fantastic. The overall style and tone of this film is so deliberate, creative, and wonderful to engage in.
Even though it gets very dark at times, the film always manages to feel almost upbeat in its presentation. The constant sense of paranoia helps create the unique atmosphere that’s captured beautifully for the entire runtime.
Funny, creepy, confusing, exciting, and just entertaining as hell in every single moment. Everything about this worked for me and I’m probably going to watch it again in a few days because I can’t stop thinking about it.
