Critics Consensus

For better or worse, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is every bit as strange and twisted as you'd expect from David Lynch.

Jason Bailey Flavorwire David Lynch's prequel film, maligned upon its initial release, can now be seen as a hinge in his filmography - and a hint of what's to come. May 19, 2017 Full Review Calum Marsh Village Voice In its own singular, deeply strange way, Fire Walk With Me is David Lynch's masterpiece. Rated: 4/4 Dec 13, 2013 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly There have always been two sides to Lynch: the inscrutable, demonic prankster and the rhapsodic dreamer. In Fire Walk With Me, he's at least trying to recover his poetic sincerity. If only his dreams weren't starting to look like reruns. Rated: C May 3, 2013 Full Review Joe Lipsett Anatomy of a Scream Podcast Network Bleak, nihilistic, and haunting, Lynch's prequel to his infamous TV hit is a moody and surreal fever dream of trauma. Anchored by a career best performance by Sheryl Lee, Fire Walk With Me lingers long after the credits roll. Rated: 4.5/5 May 2, 2024 Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia It adopts a inland of psychological terror that carries an acceptable performance by Sheryl Lee, but I fear that its Lynchian nightmare never escapes the signs that precipitate its artifice into a dark, dull and predictable void. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 5/10 Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Steve Warren Southern Voice (Atlanta) Hey, David Lynch, fire walk with this! May 9, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Jennifer L Loved Twin Peaks and glad he made this film of the prequel. Bit silly in parts. The Laura Palmer and Twin Peak character parts are all good. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/04/24 Full Review Georgan G If you are a Twin Peaks fan you may like this film. I didn't care for the series and don't care for the film. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/11/23 Full Review Magnus B 10's across the board. Just as chilling and surreal as the best parts of the original series. It's really sad people didn't appreciate this incredible movie at first. We could've gotten even more twin peaks films! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/08/23 Full Review Miguel P art masterpiece, algorthim counter strike Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/18/23 Full Review Berit K This was one of the most artistic and moving movies I have ever seen. I don't understand that this movie does not have better reviews. David Lynch is a true artist. I have seen this movie five times. How Lynch uses symbols and darkness is incredible. Great movie is Twin Peaks Fire Walk with Me. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/05/23 Full Review Federico T The representation of the last 7 days of Laura Palmer's life, this is the prequel to the famous tv series and it divided critics and fans. In the first place, it's mandatory to say that it's not a chronicle but an allegory, so it's deliberately stylized and far less immersive and descriptive of the Pacific Northwest small-town America than the series and this because Laura is the epitome that once dead becomes the reference for everyone's projections, desires and inner ghosts, so in the series the focus is on what happens to the other people. Differently in the prequel Lynch chose to tell what was jealously kept secret in the series, and that's Laura's persona and how concretely she has determined the events that will affect every other character. Laura Palmer is such a powerful symbol, the sum of all possible feminine personifications and of all the wasp frailties whose parable is interesting because her escape from the abuses and the evil that runs in her family is the definitive ambition of her own cultural milieu that is devouring life along with all its excesses and, in other words, possessing everything for owning nothing. The movie has major limitations, among which the hurried writing of the screenplay (Lynch was given very little time to develop the new project) that mostly belittles the mystery aura of the story that was carefully untold in the series, then Sheryl Lee, who had a very hard task, struggles to be credible in this over the top acting, but also we have here some of the most approximative Lynch's images (the FBI oracle, the autopsy scene, the David Bowie's cameo, the Leland's abused car engine and the immediately following ready for use garage).
