Under the Silver Lake's reviews
Media reviews
Time Out
"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".
Indiewire
"It?s fascinating to watch Mitchell grasp for a bigger picture with the wild ambition of his scruffy protagonist".
The A.V. Club
The pervasive but almost offhand menace is supplied by Mitchell?s impeccable, widescreen mise-en-scène; the ordinary dread he locates in an unglamorous, mundane L.A.; and the way even the film?s comedy seems perched on the edge of unease.
Vulture
Like any conspiracy theorist, you sense that landing on an actually airtight unified theory would almost spoil the fun for Mitchell.
Variety
"'Under the Silver Lake' gets its hooks in you, but it?s a good-bad movie: an academic stab at making the darkness visible".
Vanity Fair
Mitchell has made a stylish, occasionally intriguing film, by turns idiosyncratically funny and downright scary.
The Hollywood Reporter
"Despite a compelling lead in Andrew Garfield, the tension dissipates rather than mounts as this knotty neo-noir slides into a Lynchian swamp of outre weirdness".
The Guardian
"This film just wades into a murky lake of self-consciousness and sinks inexorably to the bottom".
