Summary: Totally Devoid of Anything That Makes Sense
Review: I don't get it - people are supposed to say that this is good because it doesn't make sense; this is good because it's stupid, etc. I don't get it.I saw this movie three times. The second and third time didn't give me anything to grab onto, There was not the proverbial - "Oh yeah, I missed that before", or "Oh yeah it makes sense now". It was just, "Oh yeah like yeah, okay, Like the lights are on but the drapes are drawn" kinda sh-t. Even the mystery man (Robert Blake) was embarrassed about his role on this movie. I think the movie's okay for those who like this kind of movie but I never got off on movies that didn't make sense. I liked his other movie about the elephant man and R Crumb - those were awesome. Good soundtrack on this Lost Highway too. But for the movie, geezz - there's nothing wrong with surrealiem in film but this one is assinine.

Summary: great movie
Review: This movie is certainly not for those people who can't understand anything different. The first time i saw it i loved it. i still do, but it sort of loses its effect after awhile. anyway, Lynch did a great job with this one and i gave it 5 stars

Summary: Lynch's movies are hard to watch
Review: Since i am not a typical lynch fan, i find it hard to watch some of his movies. the first thing that i saw by lynch was the tv series twin peaks, and honestly i hated it because ididn't understand anything that went on. now i have wached fire walk with me and i loved that movie. so now i am going to watch twin peaks again and try to tolerate it. i am not promising anything? then maybe i wil watch lost highway and blue velvet again and actually have compassion for it, doubt it but it will be worth the try. TO ALL YOU LYNCH FANS I APPLAUD YOU FOR HAVING THE MIND COMPACITY FOR HIS MOVIES.

Summary: Lynch's Worst
Review: I was a big fan of David Lynch untll this movie came out. It had a good, creepy beginning but after Pullman changed identities for whatever obscure reason the whole plot fell apart. I would not reccomend this movie to anybody who is not a die-hard Lynch fan. This movie is pure junk, with a great soundtrack.

Summary: Great Film
Review: If you are locked into watching only films that give you the satisfaction of "getting it" - don't bother. There are many reviews in this listing that say I watched it - I didn't get it - it's bad. But I have not seen a review in which the viewer claimed to have turned off the film in the middle and returned it to the store. It is an absorbing film. Sometimes, it is good to experience things that you do not understand.

Summary: Lynch-phobia lives on
Review: When will people learn not to judge all films by the same yardstick. Yes, this film has an often incomprehensible plot. But it is not intended to be judged along the lines of most other films. It terms of visuals and sound design, this film is one of the best of the decade, and only rivalled by Lars Von Trier's masterpiece 'Zentropa'. If you are looking for the same things in 'Lost Highway' as you look for in 'The Matrix' or other mainstream action thrillers, then steer clear. Just leaves more room for the rest of us....

Summary: Blah... Blah...Blah...
Review: Went to see this movie and was expecting a good Lynch-fest like Peaks and Velvet - got junk instead. No story... no character development... no plot... no introduction... no resolution.. no conclusion.. no nothing. Just alot of blah..blah..blah. Like what are you supposed to come away with here. I came away with no interest in this guys films anymore. I like his other stuff, even Eraserhead had a story. This thing? Sorry bud - no ceegar.

Summary: Artistic Brilliance
Review: This is one of the most visually amazing films that I have ever seen. I would compare it to THX-1138, or to just about any Stanley Kubrick movie in its artistry and ability to confuse. Anyone who trys to take this film seriously or tries to compare it to any other film that they have ever seen just dosn't get this movie, and I think its better that way. This movie is not supposed to be like any other movie. The fact that this movie has no plot is irrelevent. People who try to find a plot in this movie, instead of just taking it for what it is will walk away completely confused. If you don't like surrealism and brilliant cenematography, then don't see this move - but if you love watching the work of an artistic master and cenematic geneous like David Lynch, then I would highly suggest this movie.

Summary: Eh.
Review: Since everyone else is saying this, I'll say it too. "If you're a fan of David Lynch, you'll love this movie." But I don't esee how anyone could appreciate this incomprehensible work. Starts off interstingly enough, but as soon as Pullman changes identities for no reason whatsoever, the film falls apart into nothing more than an excercise in confusion. And it's confusing because the plot is non-existant.Now don't get me wrong, I like offbeat films. I liked Tetsuo and Tetsuo II. Things don't need to be explained to me point-blank for me to like a movie. But I do like having something to base my opinions on, and as soon as I thought I had something to stand on in Lost Highway the floor fell out from below me. Gets 2 stars because Lynch was actually able to get this film made, even though it really shouldn't have. Congratulations to him in that respect. Lost Highway reminds me of a film-school student's shallow attempt at being "deep". Ho hum.
