Under The Silver Lake (David Robert Mitchell, April 19, 2019) Movie • Page 3

This rules

 

Also, speaking of A24 butchering releases, their decision to move Climax to March 1 means it’s coming out after the UK blu-ray, so it’ll be widely available almost a month before that release.

 

the reviews I've seen of this have me really curious to watch it.

 

I really liked it, fun movie.

 

Mixed feelings. Loved the direction and visuals, but the script, characters, overall story... not so much. Also, I watched this whole movie not recognizing Topher Grace 'til I saw his name in the credits.

 

This movie should be called "Spiderman fucks".

 

Not a good sign

David Robert Mitchell's Under The Silver Lake is now getting dumped to VOD

 

Jesus Christ. It’s honestly a smart move at this point, imo. I saw a movie recently and was baffled that I got a trailer for this.

 

A24 seriously fucked this. I would be livid if I were Mitchell/anyone who worked on this.

 

Maybe he’ll go back to making horror films

 

Interesting that they thought this movie was actually good.

 

This entire movie can be encapsulated by the scene where the camera focuses on human excrement in a toilet bowl.

 

This is such a shameless rip off of Inherent Vice it's insane. Even the score is almost the same.

That said, I didn't totally hate it. Andrew Garfields character is totally unlikeable, literally every female character is just there to look hot, get naked and/or fuck Garfield and it's really just kind of dumb, but halfway through I started to kind of get into it. The scene with the songwriter was goofy but pretty entertaining, and the "answer" to the mystery is actually a pretty interesting idea.

 

Like maybe A24 buried this release just so they wouldn't get sued for plagiarism

 

just saw this , and honestly? I absolutely loved it. Garfield did a great job playing an unlikeable fuck boy. Loved the score, loved the direction, loved the mystery. Thinking back on all the weirdness, i think it works well that everything is about him getting over a breakup, especially the pop music scene.
