Critics Consensus: 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.

Mitchell has interesting ideas, and his actors seem to be having fun, but that's not enough when the film itself lacks atmosphere, or tension, or emotional engagement.
Mitchell is taking a big swing with his third feature, trying something not just new but also more unconventional, ambitious, and even potentially off-putting.
It's fascinating to watch Mitchell grasp for a bigger picture with the wild ambition of his scruffy protagonist.
This film just wades into a murky lake of self-consciousness and sinks inexorably to the bottom.
It's the kind of raggedy-ass thriller that only gets made when a young filmmaker, emboldened by success, moves past virtues of concision, hoping to summon the full, meandering spell of a paranoid dream. Don't hold it against him.
Pretty soon the commentary on how Hollywood uses women as decoration outweighs the fact that Mitchell's just repeating the cycle - albeit with better-than-average outfits.
Under the Silver Lake takes two steps forward, one step back, and sometimes just spins around in circles before offering a flawed dream of losing yourself.
Under the Silver Lake is ultimately a movie that promises a lot but doesn't deliver enough.
A tasteless Pynchon smoothie for the "postmodern" audience. [Full review in Spanish]
It is practically impossible to understand anything that happens along an endless footage full of bizarre situations. [Full Review in Spanish]
The film creates a hypnotic atmosphere, but ends up looking like a product too tailored for the cult movie fan. [Full Review in Spanish]
You will want to see it more than once. [Full review in Spanish]
