Incredible Acting

Rating: 8/10 (3 April 2014)

This was my first endeavor with a David Lynch film, and it did feel as if I were apart of the film rather than simply watching a plot being told to me. I will start with the acting by Laura Harring, Justin Theroux, and especially Naomi Watts was outstanding. Everything from the use of their eyes to display emotion and tension was remarkable.
The scene where Justin's Director character was instructed to pick Camilla for the role, his use of his eyes told a story of tension and unease which allowed the viewer to feel his plight during the scene. Laura and Naomi had incredible screen chemistry and I am slightly baffled that they did not headline a movie together soon after.
Naomi's scene with Chad Everett gave me goosebumps and he should be commended for his performance there as well. As someone who wishes to act, I can only hope to present such emotion and reality to any performance.
The story itself was very intriguing, I am of the belief that that dual stories were in two separate parallel universes that were briefly accessed through both Laura and Naomi's dreams. Neither of which are that of fiction, but both indeed excited within the same universe but are alternate realities on the opposite end of the spectrum.
I will be watching more of Lynch's work, his style is not my favorite method of storytelling, yet it is very entertaining and allows the viewer to think critically and use areas of the mind which may not typically be used during the viewing of a causal film.
True Score: 8.1
