Not Lynch's best, but still better than most other Hollywood stuff...

Rating: Null/10 (29 June 2008)

The wonderful visual touches and peculiar dramatic devices that are expected of Lynch are all here and make this film rise greatly above its relatively simplistic story, and that includes some fabulous acting.
There's nothing in the film, and no scene, that does not have something to do with the main drama of a woman spurned by her lover who then has significant emotional and mental disturbances. One commenter defies anyone to be able to explain all parts or scenes of this film, and I would take that challenge. It is not all that difficult when viewed as imagined events interspersed with reality, and as an exploration of an emotionally ill mind. A viewing of the film from beginning to end is necessary however.
While not my favorite Lynch film, it's so much better than most drivel out of Hollywood that it is highly recommended viewing, and will captivate the viewer such that the running time is barely noticeable. It is the type of film that ends and yet you wish it hadn't. Of particular note is a marvelous rendition of Roy Orbison's 'Crying' by a female singer.
