Under the Silver Lake never finds a reason for being as weird as it is, making for a confusing and frustrating experience despite its hypnotic visuals and great score.

I thought this tale was both creative and fun, but I'm a sucker for the latent power of pop culture.

Pretty soon the commentary on how Hollywood uses women as decoration outweighs the fact that Mitchell's just repeating the cycle - albeit with better-than-average outfits.

... a sprawling, painfully stylish and skittish noir odyssey.

Under the Silver Lake is not science fiction or fantasy, but it is just surreal enough to make you think it could be.

A film which mistakes mockery and meaningfulness for fetish and frenzy.

Mitchell is taking a big swing with his third feature, trying something not just new but also more unconventional, ambitious, and even potentially off-putting.

The pretense of muddling nonsense with intellectual rigor means that it will forever be impossible to consider Under the Silver Lake as anything other than an exercise in smugness from a creative mind that has only the barest grasp on the theses it posits

It's fascinating to watch Mitchell grasp for a bigger picture with the wild ambition of his scruffy protagonist.

Mitchell has interesting ideas, and his actors seem to be having fun, but that's not enough when the film itself lacks atmosphere, or tension, or emotional engagement.

It's the kind of raggedy-ass thriller that only gets made when a young filmmaker, emboldened by success, moves past virtues of concision, hoping to summon the full, meandering spell of a paranoid dream. Don't hold it against him.
