      acsdoug D The film vacillates from heavy drama to whimsy back to drama to comedy and drama again. None of it really works. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/25/24 Full Review Audience Member WOW was not expecting such a original, unique film from this era, this is a must see film, not perfect, but the plot goes places you never expect, will not say anymore, but definitely will rewatch this few more times, wondering if David Lynch has seen this very strange but enjoyable film Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/07/22 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
