Review of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992) by Bill B — 31 Aug 2017
David Lynch establishes a sinister mood and never lets go. Melodramatic and intensely personal, Sheryl Lee's compelling portrayal of Laura Palmer is the emotional center of the film.
Lee is the embodiment of Lynch's trademark weirdness as she experiences the psychic trauma of a teenage incest victim. The enabling mother, clueless friends, self-destructive behavior, and dark secrets are all played out in the idyllic nightmare of Twin Peaks.
The graphic tone of Fire Walk With Me allows Lee to better carry out Lynch's vision of what lurked beneath the quirky television series.
