Under the Silver Lake is not an easy movie to digest and will probably not be appreciated by the general public, nor does it need to be. It’s clear that Mitchell creates movies out of passion (as the best directors do), and after the success of It Follows he became more bold and as a result was able to create a truely bizzare piece of cinema that reminds us of movies like Enemy (Denis Villeneuve), Donnie Darko (Richard Kelly) and the most obvious: Mullholland Drive (David Lynch).

The storyline is a bit weird, and it’s pretty much centered around Andrews character, so the movie felt a bit small to me, but Andrew performance makes up for it big time. I also loved the nudity in this movie. I would describe this movie as playful, curious, funny and authentic. This is not the usual Hollywood crap, it’s quite different, I had no idea where the story was going, which is a good thing because it kept me hooked and that doesn’t happen to me very often anymore. I truly had a great time. It’s not for everyone I think but if you like semi thriller/detective/humor/absurdity kind of movies, we’ll get yourself a bucket of popcorn and have fun! 4/5 or 8/10
