this honestly kind of ate my brain for a bit. it’s one of those movies where you’re not sure if it’s actually deep or if it just feels deep because everyone in it is acting like they’re in on some cosmic joke you missed but that’s exactly why it works. i fell right into its weird, dreamy paranoia.
andrew garfield is such a perfect mess here. he plays it like a guy who’s one bad day from fully unraveling, but somehow you still root for him even as he chases clues that probably shouldn’t matter. the whole vibe of wandering through la at 2 a.m. half-awake, convinced the city is trying to send you messages, is just such a surreal thing to watch.
it’s messy, it’s indulgent, it’s kinda ridiculous but it’s also magnetic. the style, the score, the constant feeling that something huge is just out of reach is just something that just kept pulling me in. it’s the kind of movie that doesn’t care if you “get it,” but it’s a lot of fun trying to anyway.
