‘Inherent Vice’ suffers only against Paul Thomas Anderson’s past work
It’s not just that Paul Thomas Anderson’s movies tend to defy any one genre description; it’s that, often, it seems as if the writer-director is trying to play with many genres simultaneously.

It’s also a fine film, which suffers only when measured against the insanely high standard that Anderson’s past work has set. More
