    This is delightfully bonkers; an eerie and edgy outpouring that makes Twin Peaks look like Moonlighting.

    Lost Highway, an elaborate hallucination that could never be mistaken for the work of anyone else, finds Mr. Lynch echoing the perversity of "Blue Velvet," the earlier film of his that this most closely resembles.

    Beautifully made but emotionally empty, it exists only for the sensation of its provocative moments.

    Lost Highway, David Lynch's first movie in five years, is a virtuoso symphony of bad vibes.

    A Brilliant Masterpiece. Thank God (David Lynch) for people like Zack H. and Joris and Horatio A. and Will S.

    David Lynch does not make movies for buisness. His movies do not have a target audience becasue he does not care about audiences nor does he care or know the meaning of this film. If you can deal with that than you will love this movie. If you are a visual person you will also love this movie for it has a very unique dreamlike look that only David Lynch can master.… Expand

    The Lost Highway is good but is nothing up to the standard of Mulholland Drive. It neither sustains or builds up suspense like Mulholland Drive, but the critics have rated it very harshly. There are moments of Lynchian genius and brilliance but this is all in the context of a movie that does not build up the same reputation as other Lynch projects. A good movie that is as disturbing as it is interesting but if you need one to rent during a weekend get Mulholland Drive.… Expand
