David goes to Hollywood

Rating: Null/10 (3 October 2004)

If you like David Lynch - then this should be right up your alley. If you're like me and actually prefer some sort of coherent plot - look elsewhere.
Twin Peaks (on TV, that is) was great. Undeniably weird, but it wasn't too weird, and the characters were fantastic. The rest of Lynch's work is, to me at least, an unpleasant mix of dream sequences, insane characters, overacting, and story lines that are going nowhere. Unfortunately, the same goes for Mulholland Dr. as well.
Sure, the acting is fine, and it looks pretty good - but ultimately it's just a series of scenes not necessarily connected to each other. It just feels like a waste of time watching something that doesn't have any substance to it (it's not as bad as Lost Highway or Wild at Heart though).
The fact that it originally was supposed to be a TV-show explains some of the gaps in the plot, although that doesn't make me like it more. It could have been interesting to see how it had turned out if it had been a show on TV, but in its present state it's not much fun to watch. [3/10]
