    I really enjoyed this movie. Hearing Christian Bale do his proto Batman/Bruce Wayne voices was a lot of fun. The animation is beautiful and really smooth. I kinda like how there was no real villain. Overall a cozy movie if you ignore the terrifying implication of turnip head’s curse

This movie isn’t about healing some tragedy, but instead about the dark obsession of men. I like that this was more grounded (for a Lynch movie) and yet also had some insane visuals. 

    RIP King, may your movies live on forever so that your legacy is never forgotten.
