Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
leethomas-11621 Meanders its narrative with the help of a voiceover character (Sortilege) who doesn't assist us to understand what is happening! How does she know so much? Clues to the intrigue are kept being added to by new characters continually popping in. Magnificent performance from Phoenix. Unfortunately we lose interest after the first hour, maybe because we lose track? But the intelligent direction along with the comedy (and Phoenix) are enough to keep us watching. Doesn't help us to understand the '60s though! This is The Big Sleep for the fazed-out hippie era. Well it has an LA PI, a nubile seductress, a disappearance and an unfathomable plot. May need to be re-watched to be fully appreciated.
joecoby45 Inherent Vice is an all time low for writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson. A man with incredible talent and whom has made several great films throughout his career. Inherent Vice however is a sloppy mess of a film with a completely incoherent story that is confusing and convoluted throughout. Not to mention its totally uneventful. Nothing of importance ever really happens in this film and plenty goes unresolved. There are no well developed or interesting characters in the entire story, not even our main character "Doc" played by the incredible Joaquin Phoenix. He and the whole supporting cast do the best they can with what they are given, but that sadly is not much at all.It really doesn't feel like much effort is put into the production. Its almost as if you can tell the people involved were not feeling passionate about this project at all and who can blame them? Its really crap.At least with PTA's last film The Master it was very artistic which made up for its lack of a story. Here there isn't any artistic value at all. Its just 2 and a half hours of pointless meandering with undeveloped/uninteresting characters. There is hardly anything redeeming about this.
Pisces101-996-763636 Not even knowing this was a Paul Anderson movie....my first watch have me so part of the story! Each character was so rich...I almost couldn't blink! I had the film on my DVR and found myself wanting to see it again and again! Just today, I found out why I watched it so often. Paul Anderson! Owning, "Magnolia Deluxe Edition", "Boogie Nights (Deluxe Edition)", "Punch Drunk Love (Deluxe Edition)" etc. I now know I am a Paul Thomas Anderson fan! This movie is an easy watch for those who love a caper-style movie! If you think Joaquin Phoenix is not only a wonderful actor but from another planet...you'll love this. A nice surprise introduction for me of actor Katherine Waterston! I now am on the quest to see all of her movies!I realized after who her father was. She was cast perfect for this role. The ex-girlfriend who you still secretly are hot for! Look, you have to see this at least once...if you end up owning it and addicted, remember who told you!
mattwilde123 'Inherent Vice' is the next feature film from Paul Thomas Anderson and you can tell. It boasts a great soundtrack, brilliant acting and a very convoluted story as it tells the story of a private detective (Phoenix) as he investigates into the disappearance of a former girlfriend.The screenplay is very confusing. It is hard to follow and purposely so as it introduces many characters and multiple stories but I have heard that this aspect of the screenplay is very true to the original source material. All I could do was admit that the film was too bewildering and to enjoy the many jokes and humorous situations.Joaquin Phoenix is tremendous as the main character Larry "Doc" Sportello. He is complimented with a great supporting cast such as Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro.Overall, 'Inherent Vice' is not a typical popcorn flick and I was very confused by the overwhelming plot but it is fun and very well made and so I have given it a final rating of 3.5 stars.
