I stopped caring.

Rating: 3/10 (27 January 2010)

Like most of you, I watched this movie because of the hype. And generally, I don't mind a movie that's confusing. Donnie Darko is a mind-f**ker, but it was good because it was entertaining and fascinating, and it makes you want to see it again when you're finished.
Mulholland Dr. is definitely a mind-f**ker, but it's extremely slow, dragged out and confusing in an "I don't even care anymore" way. I don't have a problem with long movies, as long as they go somewhere, but Mulholland Dr. is loaded with dead air in conversation and walking sequences that drag on for several minutes, from the same angle, with no dialogue, and no music. It's just plain boring.
I would have given it a 1, but I did enjoy Naomi Watts' acting as I always do, and an extra point for her love scene with Laura Harring, which was probably the most entertaining part of the movie.
But a confusing "artistic" movie should be something I would want to see again if I didn't understand it the first time. I didn't understand Mulholland Dr, but I don't really care what I'm supposed to make of it because it was just so slow and boring. I don't want to sit through it again.
