Telling the true story of the wonderfully full life of Catherine Coulson, known to audiences around the world as The Log Lady from Twin Peaks. It also reflects on her death, which epitomized her extraordinary life-characterized by deep friendship, a passion for art and artists, motherhood, spirituality, and a commitment to both the joy and pain of being present in the here and now-right up until her last breath.

There’s no getting around the fact that a fair amount of the documentary is slapdash... But there’s also a strange charm to the film’s scrappiness.

A wonderful tribute to Catherine Coulson, the actress best known as The Log Lady on Twin Peaks, and for other David Lynch projects.

Hammer to Nail

Green’s film goes deep into Catherine’s life, to show that she was so much more than the things that made her famous. But it also tells a behind-the-scenes story that Twin Peaks fans have longed for since The Return first aired in 2017.

A touching, remarkably poignant, and unexpectedly expansive portrait of the woman behind the Log Lady, whose life and legacy stretch far beyond the boundaries of a cult TV show.
