Another over-rated David Lynch film!

Rating: 1/10 (13 February 2011)

David Lynch has been successful in confusing art with just plain confusing. There is nothing deep about his films. He has taken a formula (albeit, created by him) and used it over and over again. Misfits, dark settings and the evil disabled people are his signature. He takes this mystery mix and churns out films that we are suppose to "think" about. Well, it is very easy to create dreams and confusing plots and then tell the viewer, "figure it out." I don't want to figure it out, not when you don't give me the clues I need or a sensible script to work with.
Mullholland Drive is a disaster, a terrible movie that seems to be filmed in real time. It takes forever for a character to walk down the stairs, answer a question or do anything. It felt like it took weeks to view this movie. I was actually relieved when it was over and happy to delete it from my DVR. We are left with trying to make sense of this nonsense and some of us actually spend time doing so.
A good movie gives a message and it gives you something to think about and maybe, just maybe, changes you. I resented the manipulation of this film. Lynch, find a truly artistic way to tell a story. All gimmicks aside.
