Under the Silver Lake hits its stride slightly more often than it stumbles, but it's hard not to admire - or be drawn in by - writer-director David Robert Mitchell's ambition.

If a talented filmmaker opening the throttle of his imagination as wide as it can go appeals to you, you should give "Under the Silver Lake" a look. Jul 4, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

[Director David Robert] Mitchell has a gift for arresting and slightly discomfiting imagery, but he either can't, or won't, submit to the editing discipline that would give the film pace and drive. Jun 11, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

That makes this quintessentially Los Angeles tale a frustrating viewing experience, but its open-endedness will help it rally a cult-like following of believers. May 17, 2019 | Rating: C | Full Review…

Despite all the devilishly clever moments, freaky episodes, and general weirdness, Under the Silver Lake is ultimately unsatisfying. Apr 19, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

It doesn't help that the plot is tortuous, and the resolution is an inarguable letdown. And yet! Mitchell's ambitions, observations, and moods make the picture a dippy blast... Apr 19, 2019 | Full Review…

No matter how shaggy and self-indulgent it is, or how anticlimactic its big so-what of an ending ends up being, I was never bored. More than that, I kind of dug its sheer swing-for-the-fences insanity. Apr 18, 2019 | Rating: B | Full Review…

Becoming entangled in this crazy spider's web of a conspiracy is more interesting than living a boring existence. Sam makes the most out of nothing. Under the Silver Lake is a spellbinding enigma of a film that is equally stimulating as it is mystifying. Sep 2, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Under the Silver Lake alternates between being incredibly compelling and frustratingly confused. And that'll work for some. Jul 31, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Visually enthralling, it shamelessly embraces the tinselly dazzle of its setting. Yet it's no empty creation, achieving unlikely moments of poignancy when the absurdity somehow seems to make all the sense in the world. Jul 31, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

This is a long, weird movie, startlingly explicit at times, but oddly, and I do mean oddly, affecting. Jul 24, 2019 | Full Review…

If Under the Silver Lake aimed to leave audiences baffled, it succeeds. It's an uneven tale of dream-like ideas, barely pinned to something one might generously call a plot Jul 24, 2019 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

The fact that it's finally reached a theater near you is something of a miracle, and a movie with this much packed into it deserves to be seen on the big screen. Jul 24, 2019 | Full Review…
