Pros: Lynch back in form. Two new stars: Naomi Watts, Laura Harring. Ravishing photography and score.
Cons: The last half hour is a do-it-yourself poem and puzzle.
Even today, Mulholland Drive [named for the man who brought water to LA, to CHINATOWN] is a rather lonely road, snaking along the crown of the Santa Monica Mountains above Los Angeles (and Hollywood). Originally prized as a Lovers Roost, on which the ...

Pros: You Need to Keep Your Head Circling Around For Hours About Nothing
Cons: A conglomeration of scenes that have no conclusions-I think
I know what happened to it. It is on Mulholland Drive in a brown crinkled Kraft paper bag with little people running around in it. There is also that zoom shot in by the pop top from the can that I find so intriguing Not.

Pros: lesbian sex scenes, some haunting moments.
Cons: It's a complete disaster, this is not a film.
Before walking into Mulholland Drive I considered myself a David Lynch fan. I loved Blue Velvet, and adored the Twin Peaks series. With the freak show known as Lost Highway and the unbelievably...

Pros: Intoxicating and addictive.
Cons: The more I think about it, the sadder it becomes.
There is no easy way to describe Mulholland Drive. More, perhaps, than any other movie, it defies taglines, first sentences, and last sentences. Anyone who has ever sat glued to the screen during an episode of Twin Peaks, not completely ...

Pros: Lynch's Direction/Script, Look, Location, Sound, Editing, Music, & Cast.
Cons: None.
Ever since 1977's Eraserhead, David Lynch has been a director that has always warped the mind of audiences. With films like Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, The Elephant Man, Lost Highway, and the TV series Twin ...

Pros: Stunning, Lynch's most entertaining movie, looks beautiful - I had a ball
Cons: Fans of "Rock Star" and "Hearts in Atlantis" should probably avoid
Of all the American filmmakers who've arrived on the scene after the mid-nineteen-seventies, David Lynch is the one whose work has been the most consistently surprising and exciting over the years. Some of his movies are household names in independent...

by SusanGranger - Top 1000, Oct 14 '01
Pros: Stylish, edgy, moody melodrama, shot with a diabolically menacing atmosphere
Cons: Incomprehensible, incoherent plot and characters
Whatever David Lynch is selling this time 'round, I'm not buying. From the writer/director of "Blue Velvet" and "Twin Peaks" comes yet another dark, mysterious thriller that opens with an automobile accident on Mulholland Drive, the serpentine...

by virtuelle2 , Jan 05 '06
Pros: Fine acting all around, Watts exceptionally good; haunting atmosphere; a puzzle to be worked out.
Cons: Puzzling elements can leave some frustrated, especially those seeking tidily laid out plots and endings.
By their very nature dreams are bizarre and surreal, melding the real with the unreal, the possible with the impossible, as our brain strives to put some order into our topsy-turvy subconscious. Dreaming, they say, helps us deal with reality. And ...

Pros: Interesting exploration into one womans mind, excellent acting
Cons: This story isn't told in a linear manner
A quote from the mysteriously evil “Cowboy” in “Mulholland Dr.”:
”Now, you will see me one more time if you do good, you’ll see me two more times if you do bad. Goodnight.”
The Story (a very short synopsis)...

Pros: Production values, makes you think, entertaining.
Cons: Some of Lynch's imagery has become cliched -- red curtains, midgets, faulty wiring...
Okay, after much thought, I think I may have figured out a viable chronology for this film, and I would love to hear what anyone else has to say about it.
Here's what I think happens:
1. The powers that be (the midget, the espresso...

by dolphinboy , Sep 17 '06
Pros: The look, the acting, the Crying scene, with Rebekah Del Rio.
Cons: The scripted creepiness - "Let's see how strange we can make this movie."
Mulholland Drive is a very unusual film, in that the first two hours lead the viewer to think that it is weird but understandable, if the story of the characters is X, but then it pulls the rug out from under your feet, because the story is not X, ...

by peterbryan , Apr 20 '02
Pros: Mesmerizing cinematography; abstract concept; Naomi Watts; David Lynch
Cons: Too incoherent for many
****1/2
The very last lines of David Lynch’s “Mulholland Drive” are ‘Silencio.’ And as non-intrusive as it is, it’s the final line of dialogue spoken, and a sensitive one at that not because it marks the end of the movie, but...

by epinionsuser - Top 1000, May 22 '02
Pros: David Lynch's directing, Eerie images, and the Maddening confusion
Cons: Maddening confusion, a bit strange
Most critics are calling "Mulholland Drive" director David Lynch's personal dream put on a movie screen. There may be enough evidence to support such a theory.
The film opens with the camera, possibly a woman, staggering toward a bed and...

Pros: Well cast, superb direction, utterly fascinating.
Cons: The freakish shift at the hour-forty-five mark.
Do you have one of those friends who can’t stop asking questions the moment a movie starts? You know, as if you possess some magical power of knowing everything from the first fade up. "Who’s that? Where is she? What is she doing? Where are they going?...

Pros: Great weird for the sake of weird movie, Direction, Sexual graphicness, Acting, Moments of character.
Cons: Lack of DVD bonus features
Recently, I made a tradeoff in my reviews and I was pretty straightforward about it. On my yearly cross-country trip, I was given a copy of "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me" (reviewed at: ...
