David Lynch's best movie.

Rating: 9/10 (7 September 2002)

I have to admit that I had my doubts when I rented this movie. After seeing it I have to admit that it's one of the best movies I've seen in years.
One has to watch very closely even if they can't figure out what's going on, because almost everything falls into place as the movie closes out. Subtle "reality to fantasy" changes take place at crucial moments to underscore Lynch's story, and if they're missed - so too will be the viewer's realization of them.
Are there a few things left unsettled in my mind at the film's end? Sure - the monster in the alley probably being the most debatable, but all in all this movie pulls together in an incredible fashion. Make sure you have a quiet and undisturbed couple of hours to view this thing, because missing a line or two can make all the difference in the world. But definitely watch it.
