Ahhh, this movie!!!

Rating: 10/10 (29 January 2002)

One of the only movies I've ever given a 10. So simple the plot, just gotta remember that you're looking at it a different way. Lynch is so superbly manipulative that I love the guy. Take one detail, turn it around and people get all confused. I didn't even like this movie until I woke up two days after seeing it and went "Oh, my god, I get it". And it's such a true story and when you do get it, you wonder how you didn't see it before - like, I think of myself as stupid that I didn't realize the whole thing when Naomi Watts' character Betty said near the beginning, "I'm gonna fix a sandwich". Who says that? And in such a cheery way? Come on. And how many people agree with me - top three scenes:
(1) The Audition (2) Club Silencio (3) The Dinner Table Scene At the End
Nice casting (refreshing to finally see Naomi Watts again after what I think was her great role as Jet Girl in Tank Girl). Nice visuals, especially the exterior stuff - Primo lighting and saturation in the colors!
Great plot.
Great Dialogue.
I don't even care that it was supposed to be a pilot. I think Lynch, as always, did a great job.
