My impressions going into this film were not that high due to the fact the critics praised this film so wildly....This for me isn't a good sign because i thought Gosford Park and Moulin Rouge were very overated and yet praised to the high heavens!
Thankfully it wasn't the same for this film due to the vivid imagination of one Mr Lynch. The films strongpoints is allowing the viewer to use there own imagination to fill in the plot holes, aiding this was some brilliant acting from the two lead women in the film Naomi Watts (Betty/Diane) and Laura Hanning (Rita/Camilla). Both these actresses played there parts to utter perfection and completely dominated the screen with there presence.
The Eerie score adds to the overall effect and wierdness to the film allowing each scene to move on flowingly and eventually leading to a mind boggling finale.
How on earth David Lynch came out of the Oscars without the best director award is beyond me. This film is one of a kind and not very light on the mind so you will almost gaurantee yourself a second viewing to make more sense of what is a fantastic dreamy film!
10/10 :o)
