*** 1/2 out of ****

Rating: 8/10 (8 September 2002)

"Mulholland Drive" is a movie that, like most of Lynch's work, will tend to polarize its audiences. Many find the seemingly senseless plot to be unnecessarily confusing and annoying. Others, like me, find the dreamlike atmosphere and nightmarish tone of the movie to be fascinating. Either way, everybody will agree that the movie doesn't really resolve itself in the end, but that isn't really the point of the movie. If you can just appreciate the excellent direction and acting, and try to ignore the fact that it doesn't really make sense, you will enjoy this movie.
