  Tedious, but with glimpses of beauty
  
  If you've ever seen Mullholland drive and thought 'That was good, but I wish it was a bit less coeherent' then this is the film for you. Really you ... read more »

  Terrible, such a shame. I have always been a big Lynch fan, but this was too self indulgent and had very poor production values.

  Whether David Lynch is capable of good work is a personal decision - if you are thinking of watching this presumably you think he is.

  The single worst film I've ever seen
  
  People think the point of this film is that there is no point, and that's what Lynch is getting at. I actually think he's having a laugh at people who ... read more »

  I'm not doing a plot summary. I refuse. It's not because I'm lazy, it's that if I did I fear my brain would implode.

  Too much Lynch for its own good.
  
  Inland Empire is, like Lynch's preponderous insistance on capitalisation, self-indulgent. For any fan of his work would normally be a boon, but here all ... read more »

  Arrrgh!
  
  The most pretentious pile of garbage ever to make the big screen. I should have looked closer and seen the name Lynch and would have therefore avoided it.
