unlabelledView post →Just watched UNDER THE SILVER LAKE which seems like the meanest movie ever made about the millennial character. It’s like what LOST IN AMERICA is to boomers
unlabelledView post →Watched: Under The Silver Lake wasn't a fan
unlabelledView post →I loved UNDER THE SILVER LAKE but this is the first comment that’s made me curious to see this movie
unlabelledView post →Now if you wanted to make a GOOD movie I’d tell you to make it a “Saban Films, guy who directed Under the Silver Lake, Hideo Kojima movie” because whatever the hell that would be would be amazing
unlabelledView post →Under the Silver Lake. A flawed but genius movie. And damn A24 for delaying it repeatedly, not marketing it, refusing to acknowledge it and burying it with a two-weekend run. youtu.be/mwgUesU1pz4?...
unlabelledView post →Just watched Under the Silver Lake, which inspires the prompt: what are some of your favorite songs by fake bands? "Turning Teeth" by Jesus and the Brides of Dracula has actually been on my playlist for a couple of years even though I hadn't seen the movie.
unlabelledView post →Rewatched UNDER THE SILVER LAKE. This movie has aged pretty well I think.
unlabelledView post →A new David Robert Mitchell trailer is a nice reminder that Under the Silver Lake remains one of the very few great movies about white, masculine brain rot in the Influencer Age. This looks nothing like his last film. Which is probably why he's been allowed out of director jail. Looks cool though!

unlabelledView post →I love the movie Under the Silver Lake. It's like 50% a movie about conspiracies and secret messages and 50% a movie about Andrew Garfield being an unemployed guy who is really into butts
unlabelledView post →Pretty decent #LastFourWatched for #LetterBoxdFriday Marty Supreme, wasn't, to me, as good as people made it seem. Under the Silver Lake was a shocker, weird and awesome. Housemaid is easily Sweeney's best performance in a movie so far, they really highlighted her strengths here....
unlabelledView post →In light of David Robert Mitchell finally being released from movie jail to make a crazy dino movie, I rewatched Under The Silver Lake, and damn if it isn't one of my favourite films of the last 10 years. It was tragically misunderstood and unfairly maligned at the time. A modern classic in my book.
unlabelledView post →UNDER THE SILVER LAKE is now on Netflix if you want to check out a dark, weird, funny movie that didn’t get the recognition it deserved upon its release.

unlabelledView post →Why did nobody tell me about UNDER THE SILVER LAKE - I came across yesterday and it's ONE OF THE BEST FILMS EVER. The film is a red herring dressed as a red herring who is further cosplaying as a red herring. I'm going to be watching this film forever now! Completely unexpected but instantly loved!
unlabelledView post →about to start angrily petitioning the Hollywood Theatre to play UNDER THE SILVER LAKE on the big screen. i love this movie too much.
unlabelledView post →Under the Silver Lake rules I can't wait for that guy's next movie after he does whatever that It Follows sequel will turn out to be for the suits
unlabelledView post →Here’s my hot take: Under The Silver Lake is a better movie than the adaptation of Inherent Vice
unlabelledView post →Comics on the big and small screen Movie: Under the Silver Lake (2018) Comic: Amazing Spider-Man #144 (1975) Bonus points for 1) comic being front and center, not background; 2) Andrew Garfield is the one buying the zine

unlabelledView post →You just KNOW David Robert Mitchell's pitch for THE END OF OAK STREET had to be an all-time banger to get an $85M DINOSAUR MOVIE financed after UNDER THE SILVER LAKE made $46K domestically.
unlabelledView post →Not too interested in being online lately. Just watching more movies in 2026. Recents: Jazzy; Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret; Trial by Fire; Under the Silver Lake (talk about a New Romantics-coded film). Anyway, that's all I got. Byeeeee!

unlabelledView post →I find many of his movies enjoyable, but they definitely is a required taste. The last Tarantino movie I saw was the hateful 8 and I hated that movie so much, so I get where you're coming from. Haven't watched his movie about Hollywood because I cannot bring myself to care about Hollywood people making movies about life in Hollywood. The only Hollywood director who could get away with that was David Lynch, but he also had so much more to say and his Hollywood-focused films were so much deeper…

unlabelledView post →Saw and enjoyed 'Under the Silver Lake' at the Cinema Museum last night. Full of film references (I'm convinced there was a brief Bond one, but maybe, like the protagonist, I'm reading too much into pop culture). 'What's the Frequency, Kenneth?' on the soundtrack and subsequently in my head.
unlabelledView post →Friend showed “Under the Silver Lake” last night and there’s precisely 3 people I can recommend it to Been a long time since watched a movie where i physically leaned in to understand it better and felt lucky to have already done the homework A true wtf love/hate movie 🏊♀️🐶 👴🏻🎸 🗑️👑 🥣🗺️ 💸📌
unlabelledView post →I shouldn’t of watched it but damn this looks wild I loved Myth of the American Sleepover, It Follows & Under the Silver Lake so hopefully this keeps the streak alive for David Robert Mitchell #filmsky #moviesky youtu.be/I1hVAJ5hLSU?...
unlabelledView post →I just watched a movie where that happened to the main character and he had to take a tomato juice bath. "Under the Silver Lake", from the director of "It Follows". Definitely a different kind of movie, very sexually preoccupied and weird, but worth a watch.
unlabelledView post →UNDER THE SILVER LAKE SOMETIMES YOU JUST WANNA WATCH A REALLY FUCKED UP MOVIE.
unlabelledView post →Just watched Under the Silver Lake. Brilliant film, but I can kind of see why David Robert Mitchell was sent to director's jail for it lol

unlabelledView post →Movie of the Day The Kid Detective Directed by Evan Morgan Encyclopedia Brown has a tough time growing up. Not as brooding as Under the Silver Lake but still a damn good mystery #indiefilm #adambrody #filmsky #top10 #kiddetective
unlabelledView post →Hey, Houston - come and watch a criminally underrated recent gem with me tonight at 9:45 PM - UNDER THE SILVER LAKE. This movie is an incredible ride and it’s only screening once at the River Oaks Theatre. www.theriveroakstheatre.com/movie/RiverO...
unlabelledView post →Wild seeing A24 hype up its new Andrew Garfield movie after it absolutely went out of its way to bury Garfield's UNDER THE SILVER LAKE. I have not forgotten and I have not forgiven.
unlabelledView post →Under The Silver Lake truly done dirty. I watched The Counselor (theatrical) when I was an (unpaid) film critic for Vancouver Weekly, & I wrote a review that was kind of negative, but I think I was just ashamed to admit that I liked it. I should watch the director's cut.
unlabelledView post →Under the Silver Lake is another movie that I believe deserves way more appreciation and respect especially for how it offers an interesting satire that gives out a critique of trying to find your own sense of purpose and meaning in a world full of corporate greed through an existential crisis.
unlabelledView post →Maybe not a great movie in terms of objective quality but I have always loved Under the Silver Lake as a vibes-based LA movie
unlabelledView post →new film from the It Follows & Under the Silver Lake director about dinosaurs that feels like a Twilight Zone premise
unlabelledView post →Day 6 of watching a movie every day in 2026 Under the Silver Lake (2018) Another one I’ve been meaning to watch for years, but never got around to it. (That will be a recurring theme this year.) I love Andrew Garfield, so I really don’t know why I haven’t watched this already. #FilmSky 📽️
unlabelledView post →just watched Under the Silver Lake for the first time and the protagonist’s ringtone is the music from the C64 game The Last Ninja, and (no spoilers) every time you hear it in the film signals a new level of craziness. So maybe consider an escalating scale of garbage tunage

unlabelledView post →THE WAY OF THE GUN joins THE MISSION, UNDER THE SILVER LAKE, MARNIE, FEMME FATALE, KNOCK OFF, and CEMETERY MAN as a film that I love so dearly that I champion because THEY ARE CINEMA. Like throw that shit against the Sight and Sound bests. They may not be VERTIGO, but it’s a conversation.
