MIXED Reviews


This picture is packed with so much deranged energy, so many bravura images, that it's hard not to be seduced by the sick wonder of it all.
(Richard Corliss, Time)
A trifle disappointing... It's not that Lynch isn't a virtuoso filmmaker, but this piece of American Gothic... does not in the end quite add up... But no one could complain that it isn't a real film, born of the imagination like no other... There are marvellous performances.
(Derek Malcolm, Guardian)
A semi-deranged road movie... It is fast, furious and colourfully scripted. It is structurally a total mess.
(Nigel Andrews, Financial Times)
Lynch seems to be in schoolboyish collusion with an audience that expects to be shocked.
(Margaret Walters, Listener)
