David Lynch's twisted vision is once again compelling.

Rating: Null/10 (26 January 2002)

David Lynch's vision of twisted American mysticism is always compelling but never more so than in this film which is not about anything except what it means to have a really bad dream. But exactly whose dream is it? The nightmare seen in this film is a creatively provocative one. It seems to follow a perky blonde actress who becomes embroiled in crime, LA and the near boundaries of success and along the way throws in many other characters who seem to to switch personalities and situations and scatter themselves around on celluloid the way a disjointed nightmare seems to play out. With a dark and fascinating score by Angelo Badalamenti and black hole cinematography by Peter Deming, Lynch writes another chapter in his Hollywood portfolio that has a unique vision of moral deception and Naomi Watts' performance is one that spells b-r-e-a-k-t-h-r-o-u-g-h.
