The filmmaking is impeccable. And has a story that makes you want to watch at least 3 times
Rian Johnson should stick to his murder mysteries rather than ruining Star Wars.
A complex film noir take on a suburban town and the local high school. Fun and unexpected.
Amazing modern-day film noir. Cast is incredible, story and cinematography is much much appreciated.
Clever and stylish, Rian Johnson’s cool debut is also incredibly ironic in its homage to classic noir filmmaking.
The well-written dialogue and cowboy bebop inspired visuals are the standouts in this captivating hidden gem of a high school film noir.
Neo-noir murder mystery, very edgy but done in a good way, a little bit of a slow burn
An indie gem with glorious dialogue lifted straight from Humphrey Bogart's lips that somehow fits perfectly in a high school setting.
A smart, quirky, sometimes confusing directorial debut from Rian Johnson.
Good neo-noir. Really enjoyed it. Love how it ended.
A love letter to the film-noir genre that is executed phenomenally. Joseph Gordon-Levitt really did something special with his acting here.
Very good, intense plot which will keep you guessing. Well acted and directed.
Quality dialogue, quirky visuals, and neo-noir in style... what’s not to love? I couldn’t stop watching. Original in its own right. 10/10
Johnson flipped the genre, elevating itself from being a mere homage with it’s presentation of the elements. This film is deadpan and cool.
A good noir crime story, and pretty cinematography
It turns a small budget and kinda gimmicky premise into a fantastic, memorable neo-noir.
A brilliant, indie neo-noir. Great mix of a modern setting and hard-boiled talk. Terrific directorial debut for Rian Johnson. JGL kills it.
Fun teen-version of noir detectives. Really creative and well-shot.
Thoroughly enjoyable despite its noticeably lower budget.
Effective indie dealings with the consequences of drugs. Highly recommend
