Micro Review – Inherent Vice

A stoner-noir film starring an entire cast of people I enjoy, and directed by one of my favorite directors. Hell, it’s even narrated by Joanna Newsom. I was destined to like this movie. Yes, it’s often incoherent, and meandering, and seems to get stuck in places. But this isn’t necessarily a movie you watch to get to the end. Yes, you want to know what happens. But more importantly, you want to know what happens NEXT. What new madness lurks around the next corner? This is The Big Lebowski meets Sunset Boulevard, with a splash of Fear and Loathing for good measure. I’ll probably need to watch it again to figure what actually happened here.

4.5 out of 5 stars
