Synopsis
New film by director David Robert Mitchell 'It Follows' to be presented at the Cannes Film Festival in the official section of the competition for the Golden Palm.
'Under The Silver Lake' is a refreshing thriller set in the city of Los Angeles. Where a young man (Andrew Garfield) spends a lovely evening with his attractive neighbor (Riley Keough), but when he wants to see her again, she has disappeared in this thriller about paranoia and post-adolescent relationships. From the disappearance of the girl everything in Sam's life will become a paranoid spiral. The character of Garfield will begin to investigate like a madman, detecting signals from everywhere: on the street, in music and in comics.

- 10 Time OutJoshua Rothkopf
"The ambition of 'Under the Silver Lake' is worth cherishing. It will either evaporate into nothingness or cohere into something you?ll want to hug for being so wonderfully weird".
Read - 6.0 VultureEmily Yoshida
Like any conspiracy theorist, you sense that landing on an actually airtight unified theory would almost spoil the fun for Mitchell.

"This film just wades into a murky lake of self-consciousness and sinks inexorably to the bottom".
