From Paul Thomas Anderson comes the noir-ish dark comedy Inherent Vice. Set in California during the ‘70s, a private eye named Doc Sportello goes looking for an ex-girlfriend when she disappears after coming to him for help. Unfortunately the script is terrible, and is full of convoluted subplots that go nowhere and that don’t make any sense. Joaquin Phoenix, Josh Brolin, Joanna Newsom, and Owen Wilson all give good performances, and the costumes and set designs are remarkably well done. But the storytelling is so poor that everything gets lost in the monotony. A poorly made film, Inherent Vice is a chaotic mess that ends up being pointless.
