An Enigma Wrapped in a Enigma that ultimately leads nowhere.

Rating: 6/10 (14 October 2001)

Although this movie revolves around the characters of Betty Elms and Rita,there is also the character of the director Adam Kesher,whom I think David Lynch has modeled on himself,who plays an important role here.This entire film is an indictment of what is wrong with Hollywood;the vultures that Adam Kesher has to deal with in order to get his work produced, and the whole illusion of Hollywood that swallows up young innocents like Betty Elms, who end up not even knowing who they are anymore after a few weeks in town.All in all this a fun movie to watch, with some very dark elements.Certainly not Lynch's best work; he has tackled the battle between good and evil to better effect in films like "Blue Velvet",but still an interesting mystery that sort of kind of resolves itself at the end,except it really doesn't.
