From detractor to...

Rating: Null/10 (20 April 2003)

I first watched this and felt many of the same things as the detractors here. The film seems to be taking you in one direction, and the final third can leave you feeling frustrated. Did I miss my stop? - Be sure to watch this film with an open mind. Apart from being beautifully crafted and acted (Watts is mesmerising in her audition scene - her co-actors tension is palpable!), it's underlying structure & meaning are inspired.
Watch it again and pick out all those references Lynch makes to his vision - The performance of "Crying" in the theatre..."And you don't love me, so I'll always be, crying"...very nice
