   I think it's too sloppy for Kubrick. Lynch might be closer, but it doesn't have the focus. Hitchcock, sure. I mean, this movie wears it's influences on its sleeve, or on the walls of the apartment if you care to look at the movie posters, or what's playing on TV, or how the shots and frames are set up.
   
   I really love that it is like a kitchen sink homage to noir and counter programming cinema. Too every influence of a director of this age.
   
   You can find any number of problems with it, but its scope is impressive and its ambition is fully artistic. I am always interested when someone is swinging for the fences whether it works or not, and for me, this worked pretty well actually. You at least need to give it a try, it's worth it. 4 years 11 months ago

   Kubrick? Lynch? Sure, but what about the influence of Alfred Hitchcock? The car spying scene was straight out of Vertigo. 5 years 3 months ago

   Strong setup, weak payoff. Feels like it was written by a film student with a hard-on for Lynch, Hitchcock, and film noir. Lots of excessive nudity too. So, you know, there's that. 4 years 8 months ago
