Sam (Andrew Garfield) is struggling and on the verge of being evicted from his apartment in the outskirts of L. A. He's spying on his neighbors and fetching Sarah (Riley Keough) spots him from the swimming pool. After having sex with his girlfriend, he flirts with Sarah but she disappears the next day.
This is the next film from writer/director David Robert Mitchell after It Follows. It's tour of Hollyweird and has plenty of mild surrealism. It's an interesting trip although I don't really like Sam. Maybe he could be less of a sleaze but it's not by accident. This is a sexually charged world and Sam is very much part of it. If he's more innocent, it could be a more compelling fish out of water road trip. I think that is a more intriguing dynamic. This also has interesting horror moments. Some of it is ripped directly from It Follows. This is an interesting film but the main character does keep me from being fully invested.
