David Robert Mitchell's deeply weird film is an underrated noir that speaks to our present.
The film noir has long been a way for filmmakers to interrogate and expose whatever anxieties are plaguing America at the time.

If these characters were emblematic of the men of the 50s and 70s, then Garfield's Sam is the perfect portrayal of the 2010s man. Sam is someone who has these delusions of grandeur, yet never really tries to do anything, is obsessed with pop culture, and the supposed hidden messages it contains, and spends most of his days watching old movies, drinking beer, and spying on his neighbors.
