A nicely made, boring film...

Rating: 1/10 (21 July 2012)

David Lynch's movie Mulholland Drive mostly serves as a practical exercise in chronology and atmosphere. These two points it does extremely well, but movies do not have merit because they are well crafted: They need to give the audience emotion, reaction or amusement back. Apart from starring very beautiful women (which should not be the purpose of the movie), it fails to deliver in actually being an experience rather than a show of how well a film can be made technically. There's very little suspense, which it must be assumed has to be made up for by the presumed weirdness of the film. It isn't. The weirdness makes sense in a way and in others it doesn't depending on personal interpretation, but no matter the conclusion the film is still a long 2,5 hour bore overcompensated with sexually attractive women. There's nothing for anyone here to see, but in a way that (nothingness) is also the story of the movie (possibly as an extremely vague and week criticism of Hollywood, which is irrelevant to a movie of this kind). Just a shame that it's entirely fictional and unbelievable, then, since an empty movie without context is just a nicely wrapped time wasting scheme.
