An Poorly Executed Film

Rating: 1/10 (2 March 2010)

I wanted to give this movie a chance. After the first half an hour i figured some semblance of a plot would emerge after the hour mark I gave up any hope that this pretentious movie leading to anything. Although this movie did resort to cheap gimmicks ie. Lesbian love affair and OMG it's a dream! I read that the script was written day to day it really shows. Ambiguity can work in a movie, but Mulholland drive seemed like and ego stroke for David Lynch. Don't waste your time with this movie it jumps around in an incoherent manner and lacks any semblance of a thoughtful story line. Just because you put random unrelated events in a movie does not make them symbolic. The movie seems to rely on people to feign a belief in the "symbolism" (ex cowboy?!, first diner scene, the black book which remains unanwsered) of the movie and the ambiguity in the ending and how thoughtful and provocative this movie is. However it is none of these things. The finale scene seems hasty and forced appearing to be a hasty ending to a lacking movie. There are other movie's out there to leave you thinking, with out wasting 2 Â½ hours of your life and putting you in a bad mood. I do have to mention though Naomi Watts did give a really great performance, I don't know how she did with the script she had to work with.
