Mulholland Drive (2001)

I'm going to call a spade a spade okay? Ahhhhh... Say whatever you want to say about this movie, but i will stand my ground saying this movie is complete trash, it's bizarre, surreal in a bad way....random for no good reason. and the expectation drivel that you guys are talking about over and over again and catching the audiences off guard is not something that should be praised highly like you did for a movie like this. The whole movie is confusing with a stupid plot. correction, there's hardly any plot just a collage of half connected boring stories. Enough with all pretense to make this movie seem so grandiose. It's not. This movie actually tastes like paracetamol, but in your brain. Bitter and yuck.

Mulholland Drive is not an easy film to sit through and one might even get tempted to get up midway and leave. But if you understand David Lynch and his mind you'll find a lot to appreciate here. At the top of my head is the stunning atmosphere. This film reeks of a certain "vibe" and even though the film is long it keeps this vibe all throughout. The soundtrack only helps and the acting from everyone involved is exactly what David Lynch likes it. The story is too convoluted to mention here but all I can say is this film is something of a challenge and you should definitely give it a shot.

David Lynch is the sort of filmmaker that approaches his movies with no nonsense; everything he puts into them is important and he wants you (the audience) to know that right from the start (with the exception of Dune). Mulholland Dr. has kept people guessing as to what the film is actually about, and what the hell the events on screen actually mean. Is this a dream, the vision of a crazed woman seeking Hollywood glamour and glory, a metaphor on studio executives abusing their power affecting the lives of EVERYONE around them, or could this all be a twisted spiritual sequel to Sunset Boulevard?Whatever you make of Mulholland Dr., there's no disputing that it's a memorably confronting neo-noir classic that's been dissected and assessed ever since it came out in 2001, and it's sure to keep raising questions instead of answering them like a regular movie would. Mulholland Dr. is not a mainstream movie; it's a film that famously transformed a failed television-pilot into a feature film, and this transformation actually benefited the struggling actress story-line that Lynch was going for in the first place. And Mulholland Dr. is a surprisingly strong LGBT movie that deserves to be seen by more of the modern LGBT community.This is a great film noir and an example of Lynch's skill in making celluloid dreams stay with you long after you've seen the movie through to the end. 5/5 stars.

Mulholland Drive is a unique mystery movie directed by David Lynch. The movie is incredibly hypnotic with much of the visual contributing to a dream-like state. This is a positive in the movie's favor as it adds to the themes and setting of the movie. I highly recommend this movie to any audience looking for something different.
