Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The movie is a surrealist dreamscape in the form of a Hollywood film noir, and the less sense it makes, the more we can't stop watching it... This is a movie to surrender yourself to. Rated: 4/4 Jul 11, 2023 Full Review Gene Seymour Newsday More than any Lynch movie since Eraserhead, this noir-ish Hollywood saga has the shadowy texture and pliant foundation of a dream. Or a nightmare. Or both. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 11, 2023 Full Review Kirk Honeycutt Hollywood Reporter Few will be able to resist its heady sense of intrigue and two riveting lead performances by Naomi Watts and Laura Elena Harring. Jul 11, 2023 Full Review Fico Cangiano CineXpress Podcast David Lynch's masterpiece. A surreal neo-noir that explores the dark corners of the mind and heart, as well as the Hollywood dream. A film that gets better with each viewing. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 5/5 Aug 31, 2023 Full Review Jordan Brooks Vague Visages Just as with life, Mulholland Dr. is unexplainable. Aug 1, 2023 Full Review B. Ruby Rich The Nation If, in the end, Mulholland Drive is too clever by half, no matter. Lynch's superb command of mise en scène makes his images and situations their own reward, rendering even the simplest gesture creepy and imbuing any innocence with evil.

Jeremy This movie is throat goated Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Truly one of the most mesmirising, spellbinding, devastating films that only gets richer and deeper on more watches. Expect the first viewing to seem slow or nonsensical, but those who drive down Mullholland Drive more than once see the absolute mastery of Lynch at the pinnacle of his craft. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/05/24 Full Review Dennis L This film encapsulates much of my experience living in Hollywood while pursuing a career as an actor. The dreamlike haze that these characters live in rings true to me from the moment I arrived in LA until the moment I left. This is also my favorite David Lynch film and one that I come back to quite often. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/18/24 Full Review Teri C It is hard to keep track of the story. So boring! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/16/24 Full Review Charles C Good movie and good cast Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review Emilliano Jr S Boring. Weird. Nonsense.
