Inherent Vice

Ethereal and grounded simultaneously, (don’t pay too much attention to the mystery and it works better) and Doc Sportello is an all-time PTA protagonist

joaquin phoenix does detective work while incredibly baked

Kinda long, but funny enough to make it worthwhile. Josh Brolin is a highlight here.

really dumb

probably pta’s weakest simply because it’s an adaptation where his own voice is seldom heard. joaquin phoenix gives a strong performance and the campy script is still unique. has the makings of a cult stoner mystery film for sure, even if that’s all it is
