Rating: 8/10 (29 December 2005)

OK David Lynch...I've become a fan...Naomi Watts...I've become your fan too....Laura Herring...you look beautiful. This movie is great....has become one of my all time favorites. The movie begins with a scene of an accident on Mulholland Dr... a woman(Laura Herring) survives the car crash but forgets her memory. She hides in a vacant house and bumps into Betty(Naomi Watts) who has come to make a mark for herself in the glittery world of Hollywood. Betty tries to help the amnesic woman find the truth and her identity. Sounds like a simple plot but its not. I bet most of you will not be able to understand the movie till its mostly over....thats the catch. Technically, its a great film...with a few continuity issues(HA HA, I love pointing these out)...the sound design is superb...the script is compelling...everything falls into place...but what I loved the most about this movie is Naomi Watts...Ms Watts, someone very average on my list of favorite actresses, climbs the ladder and get really high after this movie. I had seen "The Ring" and I thought she was nice...But there is a scene in Mulholland Drive, when she is auditioning for a role against this much older actor...THAT scene...WOW....her performance is mind blowing. If you don't like thrillers or Lynch films or serious confusing films but appreciate performance, SEE this only for that one scene..it'll be worth it. Again, KUDOS for Mr Lynch and Ms Watts...great film...I highly recommend it.
