Mulholland Dr. Reviews
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.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Jul 11, 2023
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.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 11, 2023
Few will be able to resist its heady sense of intrigue and two riveting lead performances by Naomi Watts and Laura Elena Harring.

Mulholland Drive is thrilling and ludicrous. The movie feels entirely instinctual.
| Jul 11, 2023
A bone fide masterpiece. An erotic, deeply unsettling, darkly comic journey through the subconscious city of night.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 11, 2023
Mulholland Drive is an absorbing tour de force by one of today's most daring filmmakers at the top of his form.
| Jul 11, 2023
More than anything else, Mulholland Drive is an incredible cinematic experience. You laugh, you wince, you fall in love, you hold your breath, you cringe, you mutter "Oh my God."
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 11, 2023
The result leaves us with dueling reactions: one, frustration with the intriguing plot lines introduced only to be abandoned; and two, a somewhat twisted satisfaction in a mystery that remains a mystery.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 11, 2023
While it's absorbing and spooky, it's also pretty unsatisfying. That's the way it is in Lynchland, a place where you remain, in more ways than one, in the dark.

Even if all is not immediately apparent the film is still addictively entertaining -- as arresting, playful and creepy as anything in Lynch's Twin Peaks or Blue Velvet.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 11, 2023
A wide-open work of art, capable of eliciting infinite responses, quite fathomless, and Lynch’s masterpiece.
| Jul 11, 2023
Dreams, both the ambitious and the nightmarish sort, are the essence of this film, which is certainly a satire on the evils of Hollywood.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 11, 2023
Mulholland Drive is a failed television pilot raised to the level of mock-art.
| Jul 10, 2023
The real star of Mulholland Drive is Lynch and his extraordinary vision of the world.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 10, 2023
Mulholland Drive is an exciting, provocative work that will make your head spin.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Jul 10, 2023
The film's first two hours are an enthralling, mind-bending puzzle, oozing with atmosphere, punctuated by star-making performances from Naomi Watts and Laura Elena Harring. Then the final half-hour collapses into an incoherent, paranoid hallucination.

This handsome, persuasively inhabited spook show reveals Lynch’s talent for fooling, unsettling and finally enthralling his audience.
| Jul 10, 2023
A moody, atmospheric mind twister in the same vein as Lost Highway.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 10, 2023
This film is a record of a journey, and it leaves us with the dreadful possibility that all highways are lost.
| Jul 10, 2023
A first-rate cautionary tale about one girl’s once-upon-a-time in Hollywood.
