This was a confusing and wild ride.
I enjoyed the experience of watching Under the Silver Lake. I love Andrew Garfield, and the whole thing is visually very interesting. It takes place in 2011 but has a strong 70s aesthetic. A lot of weird things happen, and I was very invested in trying to understand it and follow what was happening.
Unfortunately, I didn't really succeed, and I was confused most of the time. Even Googling after didn't really clear it all up for me.
It looks great though.
