Summary: Coming of Age and loss of innocence.
Review: This movie is about coming of age and the loss of innocence. It deals with the dark and sunny side of life. Kyle MacLachlan is very pure by the beginning of the film but at the end is corrupted or grown up. He has to take over and be man because his father is sick. Lynch contrasts the blue-eyed Sandie with the dark Rossellini character. This ideology is great. We get a contrast between the innocent and the corrupt. Blue Velvet is a coming of age story, that deals with a fantastic and surreal world. Some of the sequences are truly memorable, especially the one involving Dean Stockwell singing. In the end, however, the film is a complete failure. There is no plot and teh characters are not at all interesting. We are given twisted images of sex adn violence but nothing is explained. This is a very cold and meaningless piece of work. Lynch is rebelling against the conventions of film making but through his poor plot and meaningless characters also alienates us the viewer.

Summary: An Adult Fable
Review: Funny, dark, and disturbing, this film is actually an adult fable masquerading as an avant garde art-house film. The film's protagonist, played by Kyle MacLachlan, encounters not only the darkness lying beneath the facade of his small town, but also within himself.Beautifully shot and choreographed, the film will astound and amaze. Although it's one of my favorite films, it is by no means for everyone -- graphic scenes of sexuality and violence abound. Isabella Rosellini and Dennis Hopper are wonderfully cast and Laura Dern plays her role to perfection. Blue Velvet is probably one of the most unique films you'll ever see.

Summary: Ingrid lives
Review: When I saw this movie I had no idea who Isabella Rossallini was but as soon as I saw her there was no possible doubt in my mind who her mother was. Well this film is not Casablanca but I keep it on the same shelf.

Summary: LYNCH'S MASTERPIECE
Review: What has to be David Lynch's best film, but Lost Highway is a close contender, is the best study of suburbia ever seen in movies up till AMERICAN BEAUTY. With beautiful shots of the Midwestern countryside and great performances from Rossellini and Hopper, this movie is undeniably weird but undeniably great.

Summary: Overrated.
Review: Hardcore David Lynch fans love it and say it is his best. And although I enjoy David Lynch on many levels, I wouldn't call myself a hardcore fan, and I say it's mediocre. Maybe if I'd seen it before other David Lynch films I'd feel more strongly about it, but I saw this after Eraserhead, Lost Highway, and Dune. Most of David Lynch's movies are full of things that fascinate and annoy me by turns. I don't mind that the films don't make perfect sense, and I think certain details and the way he uses details are quite brilliant. But in most of his films I get to a point where it's not very intriguing or rewarding anymore, and it's more just ... watching David Lynch try to be REALLY REALLY weird. The subtlety of the strangeness, which I enjoy, tends to give over to abrasive, unsatisfying chaos and a much sloppier artistic aesthetic. If it were done the right way I might not mind, but oftentimes, such as in Blue Velvet, it just seems masturbatory.

Summary: Spooky cool!
Review: This was a very maddening film. David Lynch has such a wonderful twisted talent for this type of story. The entire film was riveting, not just certain scenes. Since I first saw this film, it has been one of my favorites. It was magnificent the way the four main actors created such memorable characters with deep personalities and shocking secrets. The detail, the richness of each scene made it a beautiful film to watch. The story was horrific and intriguing, a soul stirring experience. Violent at times, the tenderness of caring about other people, and the grittiness of these really disturbed humans somehow all make sense in this film. This is a masterpiece for Lynch. Dennis Hopper was nearly a monster, maybe the best character he has ever created. That was a man with some real issues! Overall, this is not a film for everyone. It is offbeat, like David Lynch always is. Harsh but wonderful.

Summary: a great movie adventure into a twisted world of violence
Review: blue velvet is a cinematic masterpiece almost without peer. david lynch has taken a small safe town from americas suburbs and has turned it into a festering hole for evil and all of its henchman. he explores the duality of man and woman using some of the most perfectly portrayed characters ever created. david lynch dares the viewer to hang in there and think for themselves. besides all of the above mentioned blue velvet has all of the cream of the crop, much repeated, and criminally hard to forget lines ever written. these lines are also delivered by the best actors and actresses, and for this blue velvet deserves to be seen over and over scene by scene forever.

Summary: The Ultimate Masterpiece of the '80s
Review: BLUE VELVET is clearly the best film of the '80s, possibly the most influential movie also. I remember my experience of watching BLUE VELVET for the very first time when it came out in 1987 (when I was 17), I was totally swept by the artistry that it inspired me to study filmmaking in NYC. I don't know how David Lynch can top that movie.. its definitely his masterpiece. BLUE VELVET is pure cinema.
