The only thing not lost in this film is Robert Blake's performance, which is magnificent, but all too short. Otherwise this is the worst type of David Lynch film, unredeemable without a clever ending that can tie things up. Nothing is... Full review

It tries too hard. The chemistry and drama is great but the movie as a whole lacks cohesion. It doesn't make sense in the end. The talent is awesome and I could see why people would like this if they're into... Full review

Lost Highway by David Lynch is truly one of the most bizarre films I have ever seen. The plot for this film virtually defies description. Lost Highway actually makes Blue Velvet look like a Tom Hanks film. I am not sure... Full review

I have to agree with the other F's out there - this movie completely sucked. That was 2 hours of my life that I can never get back. What exactly was the point again? Probably to make anyone who isn't a... Full review

100% Lynch. However, the very intriguing and promising first 20 minutes of the story slips to blah-blah middle part, slips to disappointing end. This can describe all David Lynch movies, but the others are at least interesting all the way... Full review

I think the title sums it up. I wanted to harm myslef after seeing this movie. It was the most wasted two hours of my life. I like movies of all types as long as they are well written and well... Full review

This is one that will leave your mouth wide open.. Shocking, twisted, an very wicked indeed! You won't be able to leave your seat during this flick. It sucks you into the story-line even though it's a bit confusing. But well... Full review

the oddness of his movies is striking....B movie from the back lot got illogically wedged into one of Antonioni's chronicles of slow-burning anxiety.....The sex scenes are idyllic, often shot in heavenly white light, but short-lived.....While the narrative is fractured here, the police (and the viewer) assume that Fred killed her....But even as Lost Highway runs itself off the rails, Lynch still conjures up powerful images and memorable oddities..... ...

Lost Highway is not an artistic failure; in many ways, it's Lynch at his most daring, emotional, and personal. I dwell so exhaustively on the opening 45 minutes of Lost Highway because it contains some of Lynch's most haunting, prosaic work. ... Full Review

Lost Highway is a movie about divisions, so it's fitting....Lost Highway is all oddities, and the mystery is the film itself.....though I hesitate to recommend it to the uninitiated.....detached appreciation of Lynch's pristine composition of the shot (the cinematography, by Peter Deming, is superb throughout).....It's classic Lynch --.... ...

That's why she tapped David Lynch 's 1997 film noir, "Lost Highway," as the basis for a stunning musical theater piece which premiered--fittingly--this past Halloween, in her hometown of Graz at Helmut List Hall.
