The New York Times: Stephen Holden
By surrendering any semblance of rationality to create a post-Freudian, pulp-fiction fever dream of a movie, Mr. Lynch ends up shooting the moon with Mulholland Drive.Read Full Review »

LOS ANGELES TIMES: Kenneth Turan

Washington Post: Stephen Hunter
Lynch's new movie, Mulholland Drive, is a trip and a half: It's like playing Twister and Scrabble simultaneously while high on LSD. Oh, and it's dark out.Read Full Review »
