Pretentiously rated

Rating: 1/10 (27 June 2016)

I'm sorry for the harsh rating, but people need to stop rating movies just because of their directors.
Yes, David Lynch is a renowned, very experienced and versatile artist. Does that make up for the horrible dialogue, mediocre acting, very average cinematography and very inadequate length of this film? I don't think so...
The Elephant Man was great and I understood the use of Surrealism in Eraserhead, but this is confusing for the sake of being confusing. No symbology, no threads to hold onto... a complete mess accompanied by a completely outdated soundtrack, which might as well have been written for Apocalypse Now.
After reading some reviews, I am glad to say that there were no elements that were just too profound for me to grasp - everyone seems to be as lost (in what concerns to search for meaning) as I am.
There is a natural tendency to assume something is genius when you simply don't get it, especially when it comes from such a great artist such as Lynch. I disagree! I simply did not enjoy this.
