Review
"As difficult as Mulholland Drive may appear at first glance, every trajectory in this metaverse is the equivalent of dreams spiraling into REM sleep... [It] isn't a movie about dreams, it is a dream (or, at least, until the blue box is opened) — a Hollywood horror story spun by a frustrated actress yet to cross into consciousness. Lynch's narrative is carefully configured, painstakingly difficult to decipher, but boldly obvious should one embrace its dream logic... Mulholland Drive is a haunting, selfish masterpiece that literalizes the theory of surrealism as perpetual dream state." - Ed Gonzalez, Slant Magazine
