Inherent Vice (2014)

Paul Thomas Anderson ranks first amongst his likely peers, the Finchers and Nolans of the directing world but this detective yarn written by the legendary Thomas Pynchon (author of the only book I quit on) really threw me on first viewing. Without a satisfying plot, a story like this should be sunk but it's actually closer to the existentially gumshoe classic, The Long Goodbye. On second viewing I loved it, which made it the only film I've posted a correction review about.
