Inherent Vice

...the deftness with comedy and actors are at a level that few filmmakers working today could achieve.

...a richer, deeper, sweeter, but equally funny movie. It owes a great deal to laid-back, character-and-atmosphere driven 1970s L.A.

Just relax and let this beautiful, haunting, hilarious, chaotic, irritating and possibly profound tragicomedy wash over you.

...turns out to be a ramshackle triumph; a colourful detour disguised as a crime caper, making antic hay from Thomas Pynchon's 2009 novel.

The film is at once frantic and laconic, sprawling and intimate, utterly confusing and wholly straightforward.

...[Anderson's] blend of noir, slapstick, and melancholy takes both the weight and the levity, and the results are a bittersweet, sun-dappled reverie.
