Don’t feel like I can adequately review this having only seen it once. A neo-noir mystery with a very surrealist almost Lynchian narrative that I can’t even really begin to summarize. So, I’m going to rate this purely on vibes and for the time being and for that this gets 4-stars. Vibrant saturated Hollywood vistas, killer soundtrack, stinky Andrew Garfield, nurse Riki Lindhome, Nintendo Power magazines—this is quite a trip that has stuck with me since I finished watching it yesterday.
