Saw Inherent Vice and Big Eyes. Both were interesting.
Inherent Vice will likely be divisive with some people loving it and others hating it. I thought it had a few holes, but I guess that's tolerable in a drug addled detective movie. Has a strong Long Goodbye vibe, and a well tuned mood to it's setting. The story is loose and trippy which I think works for me, but I'm pretty okay with a movie not making sense sometimes if it has purpose.
Big Eyes was the opposite. Very straightforward narrative, made interesting by the two leads who are fantastic. It is also a treat to see Burton take on a story about stealing credit for things when he has a history of being accused of not sharing credit.
