Summary: I'd give it a Zero, but it's not an option!!!!
Review: uh... what?
That's the feeling I got at the end of this movie. I, along with many of my friends, feel we wasted both our time, and money when we rented this movie. It's like a BAD version of Momento, only the viewer is the one in the dark, who doesn't know what is going on. I kept waiting for a great hook in the end, to tie it all together... I kept waiting, and waiting... and waiting... you get the idea.

Summary: Mulhollow Dr
Review: I have always been a fan of independent movies and especially of films that are thought provoking. I can then say I was really looking forward to seeing this movie. Now I'm wishing I hadn't. I did enjoy Mr Lynch's talents as a director, however I cannot say the same about his writting.I have had conversations with many people about this movie... and while the most common answers are "It was cool" or "It was weird", no one has been able to clearly explain the plot or the last half of the movie... I can say I did understand most of Lynch's symbolism but overall I feel alot of it was unrelated to the movie and added simply to leave the viewer wondering about their relevance. I really consider this movie nothing more than a snowjob with some great camera work. I know many won't agree with me, but I don't think everything that cannot be understood can be called art. If this were the case I could be the next Picasso.

Summary: pandora's box
Review: Originally I had a negative review of this movie, because something about it didn't really "click". However, I have changed my review because it did eventually click (along with many other things I have seen and failed miserably at understanding.) So briefly summarized: I have figured out that when one unravels the puzzles in one's life, it causes strange splits in your conscious experience...and you cease being the person you were. This recurrent theme in Lynch's films is very well expressed, and now that I understand his message I would very much like to see his films again (should there be time given for it). ...I just wanted to update my review, since doing so makes me a little less troubled about the fact that the world just ended! ;)

Summary: The Director and The Screenplay Writer Both (Stinks)!
Review: At the very beginning, it looked so promising to turn out this movie into a great one, but gradually, since all of the key persons of this movie were either on drugs or drinks (I could only presume they were, otherwise it won't became so bad, it tured into a lousy and going-nowhere, aimless, clueless, super-natural, vampire-like, god-awful movie. Watch the first better half part, retract the DVD before it turns sour and put it away.

Summary: Review and Explanation (Mobius Loop)
Review: Be prepared; if you don't like having to think about a movie, Mulholland Drive isn't for you. It is unlikely that everything would click for a viewer the first time that they watch the movie anyway...although viewing Lost Highway might be a suitable primer. In many ways, Lynch seems to have issued the same challenge to viewers in Mulholland Drive as he did in Lost Highway, a bending of timelines and juxtapositioning of identities. It's as if the director is saying, through Mulholland Drive, "Perhaps I didn't make myself clear to you the first time." For some reason (I don't know -- is it really the lesbian scenes?) the second attempt has been more popular. I find both movies compelling, unsettling, and entertaining. That's the review. Here's an explanation. The knee-jerk response of many reviewers has been that Diane dreams of being Betty, but wakes up to the cold reality of being Diane, and ultimately kills herself. That would make the movie run from Point A to Point B, which is what movies usually do. But the dead Diane appears in Betty's world, and that was my first problem with this tidy explanation. Also, if you think the movie is purely linear, then Diane is psychic, because she dreams of Coco (the landlady) before she ever meets her in reality (the director's mom). Ultimately, Betty's world is no more of a dream than Diane's is; it depends on point of view, like a Mobius Loop. The reason one side is accepted as real is because of where the Mobius Loop is cut: right after Diane "sleeps" (dies). Splice the movie ends together, and you can't tell the "dream" side from the "reality" side. Much of this Mobius Loop is made of cycles: • Betty begets the blue box; the box, once opened, begets Diane and the old couple; the old couple drive Diane to suicide but beget Betty; ad infinitum. • Betty becomes Diane, and Diane becomes Betty -- not just the actresses, but the waitresses, too. • Rita (Laura Elena Herring) of Betty's world coexists with Camilla (Melissa George). In Diane's world, Camilla (Laura Elena Herring), whispers to, and kisses a woman (Melissa George), at the party near the film's end. Maybe that woman should be called Rita. After all, everything else switches. • Camilla (Laura Elena Herring), despite surviving an attempt by the limo driver to kill her, is effectively "eliminated." She has to be replaced. She is replaced by...Camilla (Melissa George). When Betty becomes Diane, Camilla (M.G.) becomes Camilla (L.E.H.). And so on. • Diane falls into the red pillow; Rita falls into the blue box. The Red World is Betty's/Diane's dream come true and Rita's/Camilla's nightmare; the Blue World is Betty's/Diane's nightmare and Rita's/Camilla's dream come true. • Betty's apartment (Aunt Ruth's) is red and yellow; Diane's is blue and green. Many other warm/cool color motifs correspond. • The red singer "dies" on-stage, and is effectively silenced, as the Red World reaches its twilight, and the blue box is discovered. The blue-hair in the balcony cries "Silencio" at the film's end, when the Blue World reaches its twilight: Diane's blue-smoke demise, but also Camilla's demise as well, as she will soon lose her limo ride, her movie role, and her memory. Most importantly, the Silencio theater is a metaphor: What appears real -- a trumpet solo, a singer singing -- is false. In effect, Lynch drops the biggest hint: If you are looking for the reality in this movie, you won't find it.

Summary: .....
Review: What does the script for this movie look like? Does it even have a script? This movie has no story/plot. The only good qualities of this flick are David Lnych's direction/cinematography, Naomi Watts (acting), and Laura Elena Harring (Damn she's fine). His writing is like whoa. This movie was 2:30 of nothing. It didn't explain anything. It's like a bad dream on drugs. Who are these people? What's going on? My friend and I watched this "masterpiece" and were not as convinced. This was supposed to be a murder mystery movie - it isn't. I wouldn't call this a movie at all - just images. This isn't a movie. He tries to show the viewer a story with images and no kind of dialogue. It's a nice trick but it doesn't work for most people. Most people will not like this movie. Amazon.com reviewer David Stewart will explain the flick but when you watch it I doubt you'll dig it as much as he did. It's not a hard movie to follow if you look into it but I must say RENT BEFORE YOU BUY. NOT EVERYONE WILL DIG THIS.

Summary: Absolutely outstanding!
Review: David Lynch's MULHOLLAND DRIVE is a masterpiece! There is nothing more that I can say, that has not already been said. Though some might call it confusing and pointless, DRIVE is (when you really think about it) intelligent, effective, original, and unique! Lynch nails every part of the story down to the finest detail. Great acting, too (especially by Naomi Watts and Laura Elena Harring). One of the best films of the past decade.

Summary: A heart wrenching, brain teasing masterpiece
Review: The first time I watched Mulholland Drive, I didn't know what to make of it. It made no sense to me, and I couldn't make head nor tail out of it, but I wanted and needed to see it again. The second time I finally managed to understand most of it (there are still some things I don't get yet), and I came away with a new outlook on the film. David Lynch knows how to craft emotional and haunting moments, and Mulholland Drive is no exception. Lynch pulls out all the stops just as he did with Blue Velvet (although I still feel Blue Velvet was a superior film and Lynch's best) and takes you on an emotional, heart wrenching roller coaster that will haunt you long after viewing it. Naomi Watts' talents are greatly underrated, she absolutely shines here, as does most of the rest of the eclectic cast including Justin Theroux, Laura Elena Harring, Ann Miller, Dan Hedya, Angelo Badalamenti (who also composes the music to the film, as well as many of Lynch's other films), Billy Ray Cyrus, and Robert Forster. All in all, Mulholland Drive is not a movie for naive audiences; those expecting a straight forward thin storyline should look elsewhere. Mulholland Drive is a dizzying, addictive mind trip that those looking for a film with intelligence will enjoy. If this is the first David Lynch film you've seen, pick up the new special edition of Blue Velvet too.

Summary: A unique film experience.
Review: I'll try and be brief. David lynch, along with Peter Greenaway, is probably the best director of our time. Thanks to him, cinema really goes forward, introducing new and uncommon narrative and multi-dimensional characters.His fiction, then, gives us to try and reconstruct a plot, feelings and characters, which is a unique and wonderful experience.Grasping reality is not an easy matter. Instead of giving us straight forward answers and certainties, David Lynch, as a real artist,unveils the complexity of life and human relationships. I 'd also like to say how wonderful Naomi Watts is. She is the one who brings life to Betty, the multi-facets cornerstone character of 'Mulholland Drive'. This film is so different from what we are used to seeing, so subtle, clever and exciting that anyone owning a dvd player should buy it.
