Under the Silver Lake (2018)

The biggest mystery of this neo noir is how this mumbling, skunk-sprayed near-homeless man has such incredible pull with the ladies.

Both subdued and incredibly unsubtle, I had a good time looking at this movie even if I didn’t often enjoy its writing or score. But I chuckled at a scene of a grown man assaulting some tween miscreants and shoving eggs in their mouths, and I’m pretty sure that’s a sentence I’ve never written before. And I appreciate any movie that has the confidence to end without overexplaining everything to the audience
