Inland Empire

A masterpiece of strangeness...clued to every scene.....totally lost. Intellectual pollution, perhaps? I need to watch it again, but at nearly 3 hours long...I don't know if i want to. Well made, great acting by all. Laura Dern is great and in... Full review

If you wanna like movies, if you still like Jeremy Irons, if you care about your time DON'T SEE THIS *****!... Full review

This is Lynch at his best. This is the first non-linear film that I have seen of his- it's Mulholland Drive on crack! This time, the conclusion is based ENITRELY on what the viewer thinks, but Lynch throws in clues that... Full review

I would rather have a root canal than watch this movie. It was a mishmash of senseless and unimaginative fantasy. What a bore. Laura, you should be ashamed of yourself.... Full review

I'd love to criticize this film's plot, but hey, it didn't really have one. I'd also really like to lay into the direction, which often reminded me of the low-budget thrillers I saw in the 70's, however, again, and as my... Full review

you will say you like this movie. The movie was pretentious, unoriginal, and boring. The scenes rather unoriginally used cheap effects of light and color and the acting was unconvincing and poor. The scenes were worn out and boring. On top... Full review

Anybody who pretends they liked this film is lying. They are sitting there pretending they are moved by a series of completely unrelated images and story lines because they are deperately trying to be not mainstream. This was egotistical. To put... Full review

A dark, surreal, avant-garde masterpiece. The three hour running time didn't seem that long to me. This movie is the best depiction of a dream/nightmare I have ever seen. If you enjoy reading authors like James Joyce or William S. Burroughs... Full review

David Lynch has become both notorious and famous for his unconventional story telling methods, and "Inland Empire" is by all means his most complex and confusing movie to date. David Lynch, who in this film uses a Sony handheld camera for... Full review

derivative (of eraserhead, like most of lynch's movies) and incoherent; to make it even worse it was long. i'm glad i didn't step in it.... Full review

Dern, present in almost every scene, gives a remarkable performance in roles that seem to blend into one another. The extras on this two-disc set include Lynch interviews that are somewhat repetitious, although they come from different places. ... Full Review

Seemingly fascinated by the notion of a Polish gypsy folk story that refers to a curse (the number 47), Inland Empire scatters all your attempts at understanding and tramples on conventions of accessible cinema with remarkable bravura. The film plays like a series of dreams - complete with the disconcerting half truths and semi-realities that dreams have, and with the same frustrating characteristic of being elusive and evocative all at once. ...

No one can make the mundane creepy the way David Lynch can. The first hour is classic Lynch and, despite the requisite sense of foreboding, there is something comforting about the familiar devices: the spare dialogue and long pauses, the discordant music and shadowy sets. ... Full Review

The film is quite humourless and, by the end, pretentious. They live in a mansion with various servants but Nikki is distressed when a strange older woman (Grace Zabriskie) arrives at her house making weird prophesies. ... Full Review

If you watch it with the idea that there is a linear story that makes sense buried somewhere behind rabbits and polish slave traders and a cursed remake, you will never ever get this film, and it is a properly brilliant film. It's a beautiful poem and song and a wonderful film, a career high for both Lynch and Dern. ... Full Review
