Review of Wild at Heart (1990) by Sgt. C — 15 Sep 2014
(74%).
In a world with so many movies barley amounting to very much in terms of tone and mood we have this early 90s Lynch classic that overflows with it. The film has a real ability to be darkly funny then instantly plain dark in such a way that you question exactly what is was you just chuckled at only a few seconds ago. The bleak dark grime is intermixed with a beacon of bright light and beauty so it never becomes overly oppressive despite some real nastiness and although clearly not for everyone (too many on-screen mental break downs and revolting characters for some), it still remains unquestionably well made and superbly acted proving Lynch to be a real genuine talent.
