      Jeremy This movie is throat goated Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/13/23 Full Review Emilliano Jr S Boring. Weird. Nonsense. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/18/24 Full Review Zach Z Good movie with good plot. Good camera work and sound. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/18/24 Full Review Cole N Bizarre, surreal, oneiric, uncanny with great performances all around. It's one of those movies that leaves you with a certain unique feeling afterward. One that requires some thinking to fully piece together. Will likely think about this one for awhile. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review Jack W A dreamy cataclysmic take on Hollywood's claws. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review Blu B If you go into this taking everything literally your doing yourself a big disservice. IT's like going into a movie called Sharknado and expecting Schindler's List or War and Peace. It's not the movie it's you. It's one of those movies like Vertigo where it's not about the actual events at times it's really about how they make you feel. And this evokes unique feelings because of the surreal story and direction Lynch gives. The best way to describe the structure of this is simliar to the Mass Effect games. You have key plot points that are hit and follow a order of events. The order of events make sense but they are up to you to make your own decisions and thus build your own outcome. There is no right or wrong answer. It's basically 2 and a half hours of the ending to the The Thing open to interpretation. You can fill in gaps with scenes that you think happened offscreen to make the events make sense even. This is masterfully done and a All Time Classic. The only minor issue is in the first half cutting to the director and killer while good scenes aren't as riveting as Betty & Rita and can hurt the pacing somewhat. But they serve very important points for the general story so I don't really think you can fix it. What's a dream, What's makes sense? only one way to find out. Give it a watch!

      Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The movie is a surrealist dreamscape in the form of a Hollywood film noir, and the less sense it makes, the more we can't stop watching it... This is a movie to surrender yourself to. Rated: 4/4 Jul 11, 2023 Full Review Gene Seymour Newsday More than any Lynch movie since Eraserhead, this noir-ish Hollywood saga has the shadowy texture and pliant foundation of a dream. Or a nightmare. Or both. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 11, 2023 Full Review Kirk Honeycutt Hollywood Reporter Few will be able to resist its heady sense of intrigue and two riveting lead performances by Naomi Watts and Laura Elena Harring. Jul 11, 2023 Full Review Fico Cangiano CineXpress Podcast David Lynch's masterpiece. A surreal neo-noir that explores the dark corners of the mind and heart, as well as the Hollywood dream. A film that gets better with each viewing. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 5/5 Aug 31, 2023 Full Review Jordan Brooks Vague Visages Just as with life, Mulholland Dr. is unexplainable. Aug 1, 2023 Full Review B. Ruby Rich The Nation If, in the end, Mulholland Drive is too clever by half, no matter. Lynch's superb command of mise en scène makes his images and situations their own reward, rendering even the simplest gesture creepy and imbuing any innocence with evil.
