    Thought this movie was garbage. And trust me Will S., I'm not an idiot - I'm much smarter than you. This movie just panders to an audience that desperately wants to think of itself as elitist and high-culture. That is why it has amassed such a cult following, and that is why it has a 9.3 user rating on MetaCritic.

    Has some good moments, but the as a whole the movie doesnt make sense. Good attempt by Lynch but its a failure. Very similar to Muholland Drive, but unlike Muhollland Drive which is a master piece. This is not.

  1. The film actually deserves four stars for its imaginative style and astonishing suspense, zero stars for its shameless exploitation of violent shocks and loveless sensuality.
  2. David Lynch's eye-popping imagery is buried under an avalanche of self-indulgence.

    It's a soulless and dull bit of showmanship, but it sure sounds profound.
