It was like a visit to a mental asylum

Rating: 1/10 (18 October 2008)

This movie is to David Lynch as Eyes Wide Shut was to Stanley Kubrick. Pure nonsense. It is done in such a way to make its viewers believe that something great and artistic is unfolding before them. But it was boring as hell. I got a pain in my neck watching it. The promise of Naomi Watts nudity was what Lynch relied on to avoid people from storming out of theaters. Lynch is a good director but this movie leaves you with nothing. It was like a visit to a mental asylum. At least Kubrick stated that Eyes wide shut was a piece of S. Here Lynch forces Watts into doing a total nude scene and thinks he's created a masterpiece. I read elsewhere that Lynch made this particular movie almost out of spite because when he wanted to make this movie some years ago he could not come up with an ending and so the producers had the original sets and props burned down.Maybe that is why Lynch tries to show how Hollywood is run by mafia in this flick. My advise: Never watch this junk. Worst Lynch movie. i cannot believe you made Elephant man.
