Creativity does not have to make sense...

Rating: 1/10 (14 December 2005)

This film is unique! It is creative! It is the most overrated piece of crap I've ever watched! This movie is cruel; only in the sense that it draws you in by being very interesting only to disappoint in the end. Like a great film, Mulholland Dr. feels like it is gradually building up to some grand finale where everything becomes crystal clear and you wonder why you didn't figure it out sooner. Unfortunately, the end result is no grand finale! In fact, within a matter of minutes you suddenly feel as though you're watching a completely different film that just happens to have the same characters. It is as if the writer/director had two completely different ideas for this film, couldn't pick one and just decided to combine the two. As the film climaxed/became unwatchable, I couldn't help but think that I somehow missed something along the way and maybe this was just my fault. Luckily, as I watched it for a second time(a couple MORE hours I'll never get back) I realized that it was not me that missed some key detail or moment in the film. It was the film itself that was flawed. Seriously, I have no idea why this movie was even made. Maybe the studio just wanted to watch Naomi Watts get naughty with another woman. If you're looking for entertainment you would be better off watching another movie. All that you will find here is frustration!
