Though it was pilloried in the past as incomprehensible, it’s past time to see Fire Walk With Me for what it is: Lynch’s most straightforward film, his saddest, and his best.

Full Review | Jan 23, 2025

There could be a sense of play in his craft, but Lynch knew there was also a crushing, overwhelming pain hidden in the remote landscapes.

| Jan 22, 2025

Like Laura Palmer herself, the strange contradictions of Fire Walk With Me make it important and unique — both a sort of failure and a near-masterpiece of cinema.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 19, 2024

Bleak, nihilistic, and haunting, Lynch's prequel to his infamous 온라인카지노추천 hit is a moody and surreal fever dream of trauma. Anchored by a career best performance by Sheryl Lee, Fire Walk With Me lingers long after the credits roll.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | May 2, 2024

It adopts a inland of psychological terror that carries an acceptable performance by Sheryl Lee, but I fear that its Lynchian nightmare never escapes the signs that precipitate its artifice into a dark, dull and predictable void. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 2, 2023

Hey, David Lynch, fire walk with this!

| May 9, 2023

While Lynch loves stories about the darkness within classic Americana, FWWM offers not a lot of apple pie or time spent in diners. Instead, there’s a great deal of murder, rape, and orgies. (30th anniversary)

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 19, 2022

Lynch explores how evil influence plays a macabre role in the corruption of goodness, of everything that is sweet and innocent.

| Original Score: 5/5 | May 6, 2019

The world of Twin Peaks is dense, terrifying, and seductive all at once. Fire Walk with Me has all these trademarks but also presented the reality that David Lynch will never succumb to audience expectation, no matter how rabid they might be.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 30, 2018

Engages with the psychological onslaught of the senses that is stirred by trauma in such a furious, intimate way that... the simple act of looking at a framed image of Laura Palmer can send electricity up our spinal cords.

| Oct 16, 2018

Weirdness abounds, but is always depicted in Lynch's highly stylized, painterly manner. He loves to dwell on images languorously, whether they are horrific or pastoral.

| Apr 23, 2018

Twin Peaks: The Return elevates FWWM from a questionably necessary prequel movie to an essential piece of a far larger and suddenly more cohesive mythology.

| Dec 13, 2017

As hard as it may be to watch, Fire Walk With Me is a beautiful, underrated movie that is essential to Twin Peaks.

| Jul 20, 2017

Not a goddamn thing happens in this movie. I actively hated it. It made me yearn for the absolute worst episode of Twin Peaks.

| Jun 19, 2017

Though a disappointment to many upon release, this looks better with the passing of time and the easing of expectations, and it looks forward to the more finely wrought nightmares and mind-warps of 'Lost Highway' and 'Mulholland Dr.'

| Jun 15, 2017

It's a much needed corrective on many of the show's ethical missteps (or at least shortcuts), and an absolutely essential part of the entire Twin Peaks experience.

| May 21, 2017

David Lynch's prequel film, maligned upon its initial release, can now be seen as a hinge in his filmography - and a hint of what's to come.

| May 19, 2017

[UPDATED 2025 REVIEW] An ungainly and unnecessary prequel to the excellent 온라인카지노추천 series.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 25, 2016

A horrible masterpiece. Ugly, abstract and unrelenting, it's like having someone else's nightmare.

| May 12, 2015

As much an essential missing piece for audiences of David Lynch's groundbreaking 1991-'92 television series ("Twin Peaks") to gain closure as a stand-alone film, "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me" is an alternately funny, harrowing, and bizarre experience.

| Original Score: A- | Mar 20, 2015
