Ann Miller, Justin Theroux, Laura Elena Harring, Naomi Watts - Director: David Lynch David Lynch strikes again with this literal nightmare of a motion picture--a brilliant, scathing, hysterical, and haunting ode to Hollywood. In the film, a mysterious dark-haired woman (Laura Elena Harring) emerges from an accident with a purse full of cash and a head full of amnesia. Meanwhile, Betty Elms (Naomi Watts), a wide-eyed gal from Deep River, Ontario, has just landed in Los Angeles with dreams of movie super stardom. When Betty finds the nameless beauty in her aunt's apartment, she is deeply intrigued by the situation and offers to help her. This sends the two women on a bizarre search for the truth through the macabre, sun-soaked streets of the City of Angels, where the mob, a young film director (Justin Theroux), a studio executive with a tiny head, and an enigmatic figure named the Cowboy all float into the picture, then out again, until there is no longer any distinction between what is dream and what is reality.
Originally filmed as a pilot for ABC, Lynch's daring, open-ended vision was coldly rejected by the network. As he was about to abandon the project, French producer Pierre Edelman convinced Lynch to rethink it as a feature. The result is this stunning expression of the subconscious, a testament to the power of personal artistic vision. Theatrical release: October 7, 2001 (NY), October 12, 2001 (Limited) Mulholland Dr. Reviews: "...Like real dreams, it does not explain....[The film] lingers over what it finds fascinating....A movie to surrender yourself to. If you require logic and closure, see something else..."
-- Reinhard Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times "Watts, in two opposite roles, displays striking range."
-- Andy Webster, Premiere 5 stars out of 5 -- "[A]n experience that'll baffle, exhilarate and leave you in stunned silencio."
-- Matthew Leyland, Total Film 4 stars out of 5 -- "A tantalizing and beautifully shot film....Still as enigmatic and impenetratable six years on."-- Natalie Braine, Ultimate DVD "...Lynch's latest lingers in the mind and keeps you gripped in ways that have eluded some of his past cinema oddities..."
-- Mike Clark, USA Today "...Lynch's head is a more than tantalizing place to be..."-- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly "...Naomi Watts shows real attack....[The film] shows signs of being a lasting work, a film that shifts and changes along with the viewer..."-- Kim Newman, Sight and Sound "...Surrender to it. Lynch's wild ride through the unconscious is grounded in emotion....A dark, dazzling piece..."
-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone Mulholland Dr. Movie Review Average Rating: (3.9 out of 5 stars)    List All Reviews Mesmerizing You'll see the trademark directing style of David Lynch (ala Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks). Just when you think you've got it figured out it takes another twist and keeps you guessing. Hot love scene too! Submitted by Stan (Houston)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
a "must own" movie I didn't know many af Davids movies other than "Lost Highway" before I bought "Mulholland Drive". Surely a strange movie which you have to see more than once to fully understand. This is a part of the reason that you just have to own this movie - you'll get many hours of great intertainment and something to think about! Great visuals too ;) Submitted by heinodreng (Solroed Strand, Denmark)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Lynching noir Mulholland Drive marks a virtuoso return to the dark and dank underbelly of America for David Lynch after the milder Straight Story. Essentially a feminist spin on his psychological fugue masterpiece Lost Highway, MD offers noirish subterfuge filtered through the dystopic lense of the Blue Velvet auteur.
Performance is of a higher standard than the norm for Lynch: Naomi Watts is electrifying in her dual role and stakes a claim for future stardom.
As this is an embellished television pilot, those expecting Twin Peaks kookiness and mythos will find the former petering out halfway through and the latter frustrated by the essential deconstruction of the world we are presented with in the first act. As Lynch's patented brand of aesthetic nihilism takes hold and we descend into the hellish depths of a suicidal mind, the greater the pathos and the fear.
Oh and there are teeny, tiny old people...
If you find yourself asking "Wha...?" you missed the point, and if you can stomach another sitting then the film is enriched and deepened and you just may realise that you should let it wash over you - there is nothing to "get". Superb.
And by the way, there's a really erotic lesbian lovescene!

Horrible ending, meaningless plot Whoever said this movie has meaning is an idiot. I enjoyed watching this movie, but when the plot became more and more absurd and finally led up to nothing more than a fart, I decided it was a waste of my time. Absolutely stupid ending that leaves you hanging. I thought everything would be explained and would make sense when I got to the end of the film, but no, it makes no sense and is supposed to be based on a dream or something. Total waste of your time, don't watch it. Submitted by Andygreer (Nashville, TN) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
A very different Lynch Masterpiece This movie is an incredible expeience, everyting about it is mesmerising, tantalizing, cryptic, and very beautiful at the same time, the amount of in depth detail Lynch gives to the story is utterly mindblowing. If you like headtrips with meaning, this movie is for you Submitted by ralph yogo (wallingfordd CT, USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
