The best film of the 21st Century

Rating: 10/10 (2 June 2018)

'Mulholland Drive' is effortlessly one of the best films of the 21st century. Genius director David Lynch takes his audience head first into a surreal, neo-noir world full of complex characters, nightmarish imagery and amazing soundtrack (everything you'd expect from Lynch) and after the credits close you feel like you have just woken up from a dream that is both terrifying and beautiful. Naomi Watts delivers one of the most unforgettable performances in film history and captivates the audience in every scene she is in, while being backed up from wonderful performances by Laura Harring and Justin Theroux. Angelo Badalamenti's haunting score greatly contributes to the atmosphere of the film, as well as several stand out songs such as "Sixteen Reasons" by Connie Stevens and "Llorando" by Rebekah Del Rio. While mainstream audiences may be put off by the slow-moving plot line and many unanswered questions, 'Mulholland Drive' offers a compelling and thought-provoking storyline for those who dare.
