In its own singular, deeply strange way, Fire Walk With Me is David Lynch's masterpiece.
Calum Marsh, Village Voice
Overview
Before Twin Peaks was sold to ABC as a series, Lynch and Frost raised money to finance the production of the pilot episode by signing a contract with Warner Home Video. The contract gave Warner Home Video the rights to sell the pilot episode as a movie on video in Europe (not knowing whether the pilot would result in a series, Warner wanted to ensure they could make their money back.) In order to sell it as a movie, the contract stipulated that the pilot must stand on its own and have a "closed ending" where the murder of Laura Palmer was resolved.

Top critics, in their words

There have always been two sides to Lynch: the inscrutable, demonic prankster and the rhapsodic dreamer. In Fire Walk With Me, he's at least trying to recover his poetic sincerity. If only his dreams weren't starting to look like reruns.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

At its best, it's a dream within a dream, a nightmare in endlessly reflecting pop mirrors, a screen full of TV-movie sex and horror kitsch blowing up right in our faces.
Michael Wilmington, Los Angeles Times

In Twin Peaks the movie, all the twists get straightened out. The thrill is gone.

For those who are willing to go the distance with Lynch, the return trip to Twin Peaks is well worth the trouble.
