Lynch needs to renew himself with an influx of the deep feeling he has for people, for outcasts, and lay off the cretins and hobgoblins and zombies for a while.

Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture

One of the very few movies in which the pieces not only add up to much more than the whole, but also supersede it with a series of (for the most part) fascinating fragments.

Andrew Sarris, New York Observer

Like Twin Peaks, it keeps spooling out more narrative twists until the ingenious maze turns into an oppressive tangle.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Fresh

A movie to savour.

Peter Howell, Toronto Star

Lynch challenges our expectations of narrative and credibility by luxuriating in something else -- the unexplained, the making of no-sense that (he says) underlies life.

Stanley Kauffmann, The New Republic
