I see how this isn‘t a generally loved movie. It‘s almost too confusing, but luckily the detective line doesn‘t matter that much after all. The hippie detective moves through a random places surrounded by fog, always ending up in the right one. The atmosphere for this is just perfect and the sunny color palette certainly gives charm to the movie as well as a master performance from Phoenix.
