Review of Inland Empire (2006) by Nshep53 — 01 Jun 2015
Wow. I love a good amount of David Lynch's work. I LOVE Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive. I liked Lost Highway and Dune. But I cannot recommend Inland Empire. The exercise feels pointless and at the end, you will wonder why you wasted your time watching it.
Okay maybe I'm being a little too harsh. The movie is creepy, I will give it that. Also, it is intriguing enough the whole way for you to wonder what actually is happening/going to happen. But the payoff in null (and I don't mean null as in not explained, David Lynch never outright explains anything).
From an acting perspective, Laura Dern is great in other movies and she is great here. Justin Theroux is cool as usual, but he severely underutilized, which is unfortunate to say the least. All other acting in the movie is fine.
If you need a creepy fix and/or like David Lynch, maybe watch this. I personally wouldn't recommend it.
