Review of Inland Empire (2006) by Mahmus — 25 Sep 2020

Three hours of pure David Lynch insanity.

I'm in Heaven. And everything is fine.

Laura Dern gives probably her best performance. The final moments are some of the most terrifying, yet moving moments in all of David Lynch's filmography IThree hours of pure David Lynch insanity.

The final moments are some of the most terrifying, yet moving moments in all of David Lynch's filmography.

I don't know why this movie works so well. Lynch's films are just great at pulling you into their world and just make you accept all the craziness.

Maybe it's because I know how David Lynch movies work, so I know what I'm getting into. If you don't know what you were getting into, then I'm sorry you had to find out this way.

If you wanna get into Lynch's work, definitely don't start with this one (unless of course you wanna see the most extreme example of his type of surrealism). Maybe start with something like Twin Peaks or Blue Velvet.

While I don't think it's his best film (it's hard to top Mulholland Drive), it is definitely one of his most ambitious. It's a journey, and experience, and I love it.
