Edward Norton's ambitious noir love letter to 1950s New York deserves your time—it's a stylish, character-driven mystery with heart that swings for the fences even if it doesn't always connect. The Tourette syndrome angle could feel gimmicky in lesser hands, but Norton commits fully to making Lionel a complex, fully-realized protagonist rather than a collection of tics.

Plot

New York City, 1957. Lionel Essrog, a private detective living with Tourette syndrome, tries to solve the murder of his mentor and best friend, armed only with vague clues and the strength of his obsessive mind.
