Lost Highway

Pros: Semi-spellbinding for the first 45 minutes.
Cons: The follow-through lacks organic clarity.

David Lynch’s Lost Highway is a muddled and eventually boring non-thriller that doesn’t have a coherent bone in its one-hundred-and-thirty-four-mi nute entirety. Instead of a genuine story it's full of attention-getting story segments, ...

Pros: Lynch's Direction, Script, Soundtrack, Look, Tone, & Cast.
Cons: Might Be Too Complex & Too Confusing for General Audiences.

Pros: Puzzling, dreamy, great concepts
Cons: Sloooooooooooow

I've never been the type of person who can carry on a deep, philosophical conversation with a ball of yarn. I mean, for all I know, balls of yarn are the keepers of the Universe's secrets, but I will never know because I would sooner ram my head...

Pros: "The Perfect Drug," which you don't really hear
Cons: Too confusing

I was drawn to seeing this movie by a song. It was "The Perfect Drug," by Nine Inch Nails. I heard this song and saw the video before I even heard of the movie. I was so impressed with the video. It has to be one of my all time favourites. I...

Pros: Mindbending and brilliant
Cons: Not for the feeble-minded

"Lost Highway" by David Lynch stands out as one of the filmmaker`s milestones, having all the ingredients needed for a feast for imagination: the mystery, the psychosis, the drama. It is no surprise that the people there have some many faces, and this is ...

Pros: Atmospheric, involving and scary as a very scary thing
Cons: Confusing as hell...(although is that a bad thing?)

Pros: Weird, weird movie
Cons: A lot of people won't "get" it...I know I didn't completely get it

"Lost Highway"...wow, where to begin?

It's a confusing movie, because the plot presents us with a man who transforms into somebody else. Are we to take this literally? Are we seeing another...

Pros: Exquisite and poignant
Cons: Might be confusing at the time

First a little background: it's Christmas Day, I'm surrounded by deranged relatives, I sneak away to a backroom for a few moments of solace and mindlessly start to flip through my grandparents 80000 satellite channels. All of the sudden I stumble upon...

Pros: You will never understand it
Cons: You will never understand it

Sometimes films are intended to lift you up, fill you with hope and joie de vivre. This is most certainly not one of those films. David Lynch delivers us another sinister glimpse of his inner workings in this film that redefines all the rules. Unlike...

Pros: superior cinematography, strong acting, very avant garde
Cons: confusing plot

David Lynch's "Lost Highway" stands as a modern film noir masterpiece. Like the most brilliant paintings or songs, the film lets the audience play nearly as an important role as the artist. The viewer must decide how to interpret the bizarre,...

Pros: Hypnotic, captivating visuals.
Cons: Confusing, incoherent plot.

Twin femme fatale porn stars, a gory biological transmogifrication, and a multi-dimensional voyeuristic midget in face paint: Yes, David Lynch is being weird again. The director of such classic oddities as Blue Velvet, Dune, Eraserhead, Wild at Heart,...

Pros: Artistic, Ghostly, Deep, acting, directing, everything
Cons: Maybe too weird for some, maybe misunderstood

Through out this movie, there were points where I was just completely numbed by whatever was actually taking place in this movie. In the beginning, I was just still with the notion that this movie had to get into a plot of some sort. It did, but not the...

Pros: very thought provoking, good soundtrack
Cons: maybe too thought provoking

HMMMM......well it was a movie..and it was..hmmm...well, it was david lynch, and i think that describes the movie pretty well....you watch this movie, and you read into it whatever you can, but when i left the movie, i wondered if i read too much or too...

Pros: Strange, spooky LYNCHIAN!
Cons: You won't like it if you're a nut for closure

There are minor spoilers. There are footnotes.

Finally the film that explores the horrors of premature ejaculation!

With LOST HIGHWAY, Lynch pulls back the sheets and blows his strobes across the dark, private nightmares of a...

Pros: strange and spooky
Cons: didn't make complete sense

I swear I will NEVER understand this movie NEVER EVER!I have watched this movie dozens of times now. Not only because I like it, but I'm also trying to make sense of it. I'm not getting that far, but it's not hindering my enjoyability level while...
