Running Time: 2h 00min
An often times hilarious, often times frightening experience, Lynch's film paints two different pictures of small town America. Paints, being the key verb, as the actors are his canvas and do well in bringing his odd commentary alive. Performances drive the film in a setting that alters from their actions. The uneasy humour that derives from the greatest fears is counterbalanced with the sickening feeling that all's too well. the best way to describe this film is to use a line from the film itself: "I don't know if you're a detective or a pervert." This film asks the audience what they are, and if we should expose and explore the two feelings. Lynch weaves magic images and performances, the perverted detective that he is.
Grade: B
