Extremely over-rated, full of gimmicks, smoke and mirrors.

Rating: 3/10 (18 December 2002)

Mulholland Dr. entertained me a few times and I felt there were a couple of genuinely interesting scenes but I found the film as a whole to be boring and full of gimmicks. A couple of cleaver scenes do not save a bad film. I felt my time watching it was genuinely wasted and if the director was to offer me my money back, I'd gladly take it. If you liked it, I have no problem with that, but I did not. I think the public is mistaking purposeful weirdness for creativity. I don't think it takes that much creativity to be "surrealistic". It may seem intellectual to people because it is different. I think NAKED LUNCH and CRASH are far better weird movies. 3/10
