Naomi Watts, Best Actress 2001

Rating: 9/10 (17 October 2001)

What a great movie! How about Mulholland Drive and Memento for a double feature? Like Memento, this one really stayed with me. I wish Lynch would do a mainstream Hollywood horror movie, like a remake of the Exorcist. He would scare the living sh*t out of everybody!
The acting is incredible! Who is Naomi Watts, and will she be nominated for Best Actress this year? She deserves to win. This is one of the most incredible performances I've seen in years.
Thank you David for keeping film alive.

I'm surprised so many people don't 'get' this movie! I hate to give it away, but the happy go lucky Nancy Drew first half is a dream, and the scary, sad second half is the reality. It's the tell tale heart, as told from the POV of somebody who went to Hollywood all starry eyed, and wound up like so many others: used, crushed and spit out by the seedy, selfish nightmare that is LA.
