    The New York Times Stephen Holden

    By surrendering any semblance of rationality to create a post-Freudian, pulp-fiction fever dream of a movie, Mr. Lynch ends up shooting the moon with Mulholland Drive.

    Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan

    Likely as not, these things mean nothing in a conventional plot sense, but as powerful images, as pictures from a dreamlike world, they are unforgettable. And that, David Lynch would probably say, is exactly the point.

    Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

    This is a movie to surrender yourself to. If you require logic, see something else. Mulholland Drive works directly on the emotions, like music.

    Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington

    Like "Memento," Mulholland Drive is an amnesiac noir in the tradition that goes back to "Spellbound" and "Somewhere in the Night."

    Watching this surrealist silliness, I would have welcomed the sight of a geezer on a riding mower.

    Variety Todd McCarthy

No No No by subp5000
Worst piece of crap I have ever seen. Please spare me the "emotional journey" BS about this total waste of time. Even the spicy sex scenes cannot save this garbage.
