Lynch Rocks!

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 2009)

Mulholland Dr. This is one of David Lynch's best movies! It's so dreamlike and compelling, and the two actresses are gorgeous and do a very good job, especially Naomi Watts, who should have gotten an Oscar nomination. I highly recommend it if you are a Lynch fan, or if you like anything that is surreal. The film is also very frightening, which surprised me because I did not expect it. The atmosphere is great, the tone is spot on, and the screenplay is excellent. I can't say that I completely understand this film (although many of the interpretations that people talk about could be right). I definitely think that Inland Empire left a lot to be desired, but if you like OLD David Lynch, than Mulholland Dr. is likely to be a treat. The guy is absolutely amazing. The film was going to be a TV show, but in the end, they made it a movie, so clearly the guy had to write it WHILE he was directing it. Whew!
