Under the Silver Lake - Reviews

...Mitchell's touch behind the camera is sure and confident, and he creates a wonderfully languid cityscape, filled with dreamers and oddballs.

...gorgeous to look at and listen to, with moments of genuine panache...

Andrew Garfield is tremendous in a full-bore David Lynch nerd-out.

...the perfect demented detective yarn for our paranoid age

...a self-aware, timely and unapologetic oxymoron of a film wrapped in a City of Angels mystery yarn.

If crackpot ideas and cracked idealism are your bag, then you should most definitely take a dive into the Silver Lake.

...it’s the only film I’ve seen this year that reminded me of both David Foster Wallace and Raymond Chandler.

It’s fascinating to watch Mitchell grasp for a bigger picture with the wild ambition of his scruffy protagonist.

...I kind of dug its sheer swing-for-the-fences insanity.

...[Garfield] beviser, at han, foruden at være en glimrende karakterskuespiller, også kan være ustyrligt morsom. Sjældent har man set en skuespiller spille så meget med både ballepartiet og opspilede øjne som her.

...rammer en fin balance mellem stilsikker John Carpenter-hyldest og original horror-mytologi.
