    Mulholland Drive but for straight people (and people who need some semblance of a linear plot).

    Jokes aside, I really liked this! (And I don’t think it’s the same as Mulholland Drive.)  It was so much fun to watch this in a sold out theater! We laughed, we gasped, we gawked. Definitely going to keep working my way through David Lynch’s work!





    Where?: The Brattle Theater

    This was my first David Lynch movie, and WOW what a watch! Not me being SO INVESTED in the mystery and then getting the carpet yoinked out from under me!!!!!

    Still, I loved it! And it was so fun to discuss afterwards with friends. And I guess I really do appreciate that Lynch refused to say “this is what this movie means” (despite being a gal who usually wants ANSWERS) because it really was so fun to hypothesize and talk things over with friends.





    Where?: Home

    👍🏻:
    *Brody and Pearce’s performances
    *How everything looked
    *The pacing (surprisingly very good for a movie this long) and the tension and dread that hummed throughout 
    *The funny moments (which there were more of than I expected!)
    *The score 

    👎🏻:
    *How heavy handed and unsubtle it was at times 
    *For all the (genuinely) BIG IMPORTANT THEMES it attempts to take on, a lot of it rang sort of hollow for me. I’m not sure what Corbet really wanted to do…

    Yes I watched it twice within like a week and NO I did not regret it!!!!! This movie is so silly and wonderful and I am glad I got to experience it with even more friends this time. 😌
