minority opinion

Rating: 4/10 (4 June 2003)

The film came highly recommended, but it simply did not hook me. I love movies that give me something to think about, but the actual moments of the film, the characters and dialog, have to entertain me in some way, and DD was pretty mediocre in this regard. I loved Mulholland Drive, so I clearly can enjoy movies that are puzzling, thought provoking, and fairly well outside of the mainstream. I liked some of the subplots and ideas, but overall to me this was a lackluster film. I'm surprised that it rated as highly as it did, but hey, it happens.
