I'd love to erase it from my head. It should have a spoiler alert: 'Feel free to turn on your cellphones; nothing happens for the first ten minutes.' It's one of the few flicks I wish I could un-watch. The list isn't long because there's nothing to stop you from walking out of a theater, or hitting the "stop" symbol on your remote. Followed my "delete." But this toxic brew was so skillfully put together that I wanted to see where the chef was going with it. So, after fighting not to nod off, for about thirty minutes, I skipped forward, in five minute increments, to the end. And discovered that I wouldn't have missed anything. Nothing happens - it just ends. As did, thankfully, one of the most depressing experiences I've had in my life. And I'm older than the guy who fabricated this grim fairy tale, may he rest in peace. (He obviously didn't have much peace of mind when he was still alive and brooding.)Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars02/03/25 Full Review Kevin M The film's visuals are striking, with Lynch's signature style of blending dark humor and disturbing imagery. The ambient industrial soundscape adds to the unsettling atmosphere, making it a truly unique cinematic experience. While the film's narrative can be challenging to follow and may not be for everyone, its intensity and nightmare clarity make it a standout piece in Lynch's filmography. It is with deep sadness that we mourn the loss of David Lynch, the visionary filmmaker behind classics. Lynch's unique and surreal approach to filmmaking has left an indelible mark on the world of cinema. As we say goodbye to this brilliant artist, we remember his words: "Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole." Rest in Peace David LynchRated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars01/30/25 Full Review Matthew A It’s a weird one to say the least. It’s interesting to see how so much of his style is born here albeit a tough watch. As a fan of Lynch I’d say his movies need multiple viewings. However, for this one I think once will suffice.Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars01/30/25 Full Review Rami A David Lynch, may you rest in peace. You were one of a kind, a very artsy and visual director. This film, in particular, can be strange, but if viewed multiple times, you can see what David Lynch was trying to do. This is a film that plays with your mind. You may not get it the first time, and that's okay. There are other films like this that play with the minds of humans.Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars01/22/25 Full Review Ishara L I'm not that good with abstractness, in fact I struggle to find any kind of meaning underneath the visuals. That said, I'm going to give it my best to share my interpretation.It is the phenomenological experience of Henry brought into as close of a visual representation as possible, without any kind of logical explanation. It is a pure look at his fear and his nightmares, how they present themselves to him and how he experiences them. It does not have to make sense because it does not make sense to him. It's as close to a visual equivalent of the experience as one can possibly get.Confusion, conflict, fear, paranoia all mingle together in his mind. A fever dream. A phantasmagorical slip-n-slide. It made me feel queasy, unsettled and frankly, afraid. Exactly how Henry must feel. Yeah, excellent stuff!Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars01/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
