David Lynch gets stranger and stranger. In his films, "It's a strange world". It kept me intrigued the whole way and left me rather unsatisfied by its ambiguous ending, yet that's all the more satisfying when Lynch doesn't tell you the difference between dreams and reality and keeps you intrigued by his mysteries. He is long overdue for an Oscar, which shows the limit of the Oscars.

Just watched this last night, as with other Lynch films, I try not to over analyze his films and just watch them for what I see, but I tend to do it any way. It is beautifully manipulated and when understood moulds into one... Great movie for people who enjoy riding the roller coaster with no idea where it will lead.

As cool as cool jazz in the dark and dirty night. I love how surreal and absurd this movie is. It goes from being some kind of strange dream to a laughable parody, which only makes it more unsettling and fun. The only thing that keeps it from being a masterpiece is that I felt nothing for the characters, and I don't think Lynch did either. My explanation: the thoughts of a schizoid or the denizens of the Black Lodge.

The idea here is similar to the obscure plotting seen in Muholland Drive, but oddly enough it is visibly narrower and circular in comparison, perhaps Lynch was aiming for a more concise metaphor?

That was more trippy than if I were on an actual journey somewhere. It was interesting and scary. Robert Blake is the ultimate villain; in this film at least.

Chilling first 15 to 20 minutes stands among the creepiest and best work Lynch has ever done. Unfortunately, he can't sustain for the entire film. A lot of this has to do with his choice of casting. Pullman, Getty, and Arquette are vacant. In contrast, Blake is creepy as hell, and Loggia is absolutely terrifying. This 'Vertigo' homage holds a distinct Lynchian theme a character killing someone they love most

There are many ways to interpret this film and this is what I like about it. I have heard different interpretations of this film, some are similar, others are completely different. This film is what I would like to describe as something that you subjectively interpret as what you need the film to be. If you don't like it, you don't need it. For some it's a masterpiece and others a surreal film with no meaning.

I remember watching a part of this movie when I was younger and was mesmerized and terrified at the same time. Watching it now, I still get the same feeling, especially from Robert Blake. The narrative is so surreal and Lynchian, almost more than Mulholland Dr. Great film about the fugue state and the psyche. One of my top five favorite Lynch films

This was very surreal and weird in that true Lynch style but it didn't quite 'grab' me nearly as much as Mulholland Dr. or Inland Empire. Still it's a solid 4 and like all of his surreal films need to be re watched multiple times. Also Robert Blake is soooo creepy!

It's the pulpiest Lynch film, but Wild At Heart comes a damn close second. This one seems to divide opinion a hell of a lot. And while I may have watched it to death and may even like it a little bit less than the first 2 or 3 viewings, it's still the only Lynch film I cannot simply 'explain away'.

Watched the film for 135 mins. Then read about it. The latter took longer. I fully expected Bill Pullman to go from mostly irrelevant to mildly interesting. He resolutely remains the former.
