Summary: A movie experience not to be missed.
Review: Don't be fooled by people complaining they "didn't" get this movie. You don't have to get anything to enjoy the characters, the performances, the photography, and yes, the story contained in this movie. People who don't like this movie are whining because it doesn't fit the typical structure of a typical big-budget drama that patronizes the intelligence of the viewer. Well, too bad!! If you want to see a movie that makes you pay attention to details and forces you to actually think about what you just saw after it's over, this is the movie for you. If not, well, "Collateral Damage" is probably for you. I think the movie is actually pretty obvious if (1) you think about the last third of the movie as having already taken place before the first 2/3; and (2) think about the first 2/3 as the dream of the Diane Selwyn character. Once you do that, this movie is easy to think about, and you can enjoy the amazing performances, the settings, the characters, and the amazing work by David Lynch and his Director of Photography. Go see this movie!!!

Summary: rare, haunting, beautiful
Review: Ever notice that there are no movies like a David Lynch Movie? Lynch is in his own genre. Lynch's Mulholland Drive is unlike any other movie. Though some have tried to make movies about lost realities, or false realities, no one has ever come close to manipulating life as Lynch can. Mulholland Drive is a mystery, horror suspence love story all wrapped up in one. To those who are not familair with Lynch's work, this movie is downright weird and scary. One could say it is about the obsession of being someone you are not. Or it is about what drives you to be loved in this world. Lynch makes us truely feel for the characters, which is rare in movies today. We are on the hunt with the leading ladies to find the true identity of one and support the other in her hollywood dreams. We love the lesbian scene not because it is next to hardcore porn but because it is necessary. I won't preach to you about this being the best movie or that other movies are mindless bores in comparison, the truth is, this is a top notch, rare, hard to find, unbelievably amazing movie. the kind that truely makes you think. that's when a movie ticket price is worth it, when you bring the movie home with you and think about it. Warning. This movie is weird and haunting. Many twists, and lots of bare skin. but it also has intrigue and genuine horror, not gory slice em up horror but psychological horror. It's a gem. A rare opportunity to see inside the mind of obsession and love and jelousy. Please rent it if you haven't. This is not the end all be all of movies, it's just the best one out in years...and years to come.

Summary: The Best Film of 2001
Review: David Lynch's masterpiece is like a dream, and like dreams there is no conclusion, it just stops. I loved this movie.

Summary: good movie
Review: Do not be afraid of this movie as a result of the bad reviews.. this is a great movie. Most of the Bad reviews are from folks who think they are joe pro movie and don't like lynch, my question to them: If you know good movies so well why are writing comments on amazon and Lynch is directing major films. To have a cult following like Lynch you gotta be doing something right. Lynch films are not for everyone, but don't let some arrogant person's negative feedback keep you from this movie.

Summary: Lynch's Nightmare World
Review: This is a movie that one part Blue Velvet, one part Lost Highway, or you could say it is Twin Peaks meets Lost Highway. the first ninety minutes are treading into familar territory seen in Blue Velvet or Twin Peaks, then the film turns very weird like our charcters are descending into a new nightmare of the first ninety minutes were the nightmare and they are waking up from the nightmare into the nightmarish reality only to be sucked back into the nightmare at the end. Lynch isn't your traditional filmmaker. he makes his films function on dream logic and part of this comes from his painter's eye. he has always been a painter first and the film only makes sense in th way your own dreams or nightmares do. Dreams have many interpetations just like David Lynch's films have many meanings and under currents and many ways to look at the movie on what you thought it all meant. This drives some people crazy. If you want a traditional narritive, skip this movie. If you want to be challenged by your movies, this might be the one for you. Too bad the DVD doesn't have a director's commentary from David Lynch or an alternate version feature that would show the original ABC pilot.

Summary: The Academy Does A Mullholland Drive-By
Review: It's Oscar nomination time again and I noticed that Hollywood's insiders have only given a passing nod to David Lynch's "Mullholland Drive", by only nominating him as Best Director (which we all know he won't win). I saw "Mullholland Drive" several months ago and I'm still haunted by it's images, long after the tearjerking senimentality of "A Beautiful Mind" and high the tech overkill of "Lord of the Rings" have dissipated. We live in a world where the transparent charm of Julia Roberts passes as "Best Actress"; and both Laura Harring and Naomi Watts don't even get nominated. Come on guys!...you could have given at least one of them a best actress nomination. David Lynch, the most daring director since Louis Bunuel, gets passed over again. I have a feeling David Lynch could care less, but I do.

Summary: Lynch's Best!
Review: This movie is with out a doubt the best movie of 2001.
I've read some very negative reviews here , But the truth is...
that they rather go see "The Lord of the Rings" or a predictible-action packed-or whatever commercial film.. Yes... This is a very hard film to understand... Or maybe it's impossible to understand.
Well... first of all... If you haven't seen any of Mr. Lynch's previous works... I don't recommend this film.... you should at leat seen blue velvet and the lost highway... If you enjoy those films... then you'll love "Mulholland Drive" This movie has so many interesting characters , and situations that won't be explained... But this films has a breathtaking musical score , mindbending images and so many feelings through words... that's why it's the most award winning film of the year... So many people missunderstud this amazing film... "APPRECIATE THIS FILM FOR WHAT IT IS , NOT FOR WHAT IT MEANS" Don't overanalyze it... You'll go insane.

Summary: The Richness of Manic non-sensicality
Review: David Lynch is by no means one of my favourite directors. The obscure trademarks we find synonymous with his style are by no means absent from this film. Why I personally found it so gripping and ergo satisfying, the enigmatic abilities of Naomi Watts are a device destined to revolutionise the scope of emotion that actresses are able to portray. Single handedly the character of Betty entices our delight with her mingled softness and ambition reducing our egos to minute status momentarily. In Comparison to Lost Highway, Lynch has obviously sat down and had a hard think about character development in this wonderfully crafted film, in some ways equally disjointed, however the plot flows in a comprehensible fashion for a substantial duration of two and a half hours. A decapitating head cut and paste effect is employed triggered by the linking of a blue key to a box, assumed to be an answer for a woman whom has seeked refuge under Bettys wing after and accident in the beginning that renders her experiencing amnesia. Not everyone will gladly feel comfortable with the questions concerning this piece that cannot be answered, but it is these non-sensical devises that strike a chord, for they are the climax and leave you flattened only to be left experiencing an extreme case of the "Kubrick chills",or at best wobbly knees as you proceed to exit the cinema. Lynch will never win the oscar for director, If he ever does, we should be afraid...very afraid!!!! SILENCIO- The Best of 2002!
