6.7, people? WTF?
This movie was refined and enlightened filmmaking, a cynical and subversive gut shot to the wretched status quo we human beings accept as reality.
I'm totally blown away by this film. I thought Birdman was a step higher, but this is just shattering.
One of the greatest films I've ever seen.
I agree. It certainly didn't appear that way at first viewing. The opening narration and first 15 min I was really not very interested, but eventually it clicked towards the end and each viewing is a new revelation. I like it more than any other PTA film for sure. Unseated Magnolia as my previous favorite. I like it way more than Birdman, which I appreciated, but didn't love.
shareTo get anything from Pynchon onto the screen takes magnifico ability. Very apt as well as we live in a generation of youth nostalgic for the 60's, happy to see it come and go as long as they can PEAK.
Buy The Ticket, Take The Ride
It certainly didn't appear that way at first viewing.I thought I was used to this experience -- revisiting a so-so film and being surprised to discover that it is in fact great -- but Inherent Vice is definitely the most dramatic recent example of this phenomenon.
