OVERRATED FARE

Rating: 3/10 (14 January 2002)

The critics have applauded this early 2002 release, but to be honest I think they've got a little carried away. It certainly looks superb, and has all the right nods to films such as "Sunset Boulevard" and "Double Indemnity". It's typical Lynch fare, and the first hour are excellent. However it does deteriorate in the second half, and becomes a bit of a muddled mess. It's also undeniable that it steals many of his previous ideas from "Twin Peaks".
