David Robert Mitchell‘s follow-up to the great It Follows is a Big Lebowski-esque, semi-Lynchian comic neo-noir mystery that stars Andrew Garfield as a conspiracy theory enthusiast who embarks on a surreal quest across LA to track down his missing neighbour (Riley Keough), only to tumble into a massive, all-encompassing conspiracy…
Critics were evenly divided between those who were engrossed (“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,” enthused Time Out in a five-star review) and those who, er, weren’t (“…a catastrophically boring, callow and indulgent LA mystery noir,” sniffed The Guardian in a one-star review).
