Just watch it! Rian Johnson was great out of the gate. And Joseph Gordon Levitt is amazing.
Creepy. Quirky. Under appreciated. Great performances. It’s definitely a “vibe”.
Even though heavily stylized, it’s a quality story that dares to try something different. I think it succeeds amazingly well.
A unique neo-noir film with a high school setting. Its intricate plot and stylized dialogue contribute to an unconventional experience.
A hard boiled film noir mystery with a high school twist, Rian Johnson’s debut is a slick slow burn, dialogue heavy but very well written
If you know nothing about this film going into it, like myself, it’s an art piece. The wardrobe/costumes- 100%
For fans of noir films and intense emotional heartache. Gordon-Levitt killed in this as an ace speaking firebrand of passion and intrigue
It turns a small budget and kinda gimmicky premise into a fantastic, memorable neo-noir.
Excellent mystery thriller drama movie, great cast and acting with a fascinating story. Well worth watching
Super tight film noir: high school edition. Might have set off a slew of copycats if not for setting the bar so high. Essential viewing.
