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 David Reddish CBR Like Laura Palmer herself, the strange contradictions of Fire Walk With Me make it important and unique — both a sort of failure and a near-masterpiece of cinema. Rated: 3.5/4 Nov 19, 2024 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.

Derick J The movie is super strange and really intense, right from the start. It’s about Laura Palmer’s life leading up to her death, but the whole thing is so surreal and dreamlike that it’s hard to know what’s actually happening at times. The mystery is compelling, but there’s a lot of weirdness thrown in, like bizarre visions and creepy characters that don’t really get explained. The acting is solid, especially Sheryl Lee as Laura — you really feel for her character. The vibe is pretty dark and unsettling, with a sense of dread hanging over everything. It’s definitely a movie that makes you think and leaves you with more questions than answers, which can be frustrating but also intriguing. Overall, it’s a wild ride if you’re into atmospheric, mind-bending films. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/07/24 Full Review Andrea B Get ready to be traumatized, disturbed and possibly have mild PTSD after watching this film. If you love Twin Peaks, you will want to watch this but buckle up. There are some very dark parts while maintaining the same feel as the show. If you don't like Lynch's work, you will really really hate this one. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review Sebastián L Absolutely shocking Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Michael V In a town like Twin Peaks, no one is innocent. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me is a 1992 psychological horror film directed by David Lynch 👧 Can’t recommend it. Meh, it passed the time. Sort of. 😕 While I can appreciate the direction and style on display here, and I did enjoy the opening segment, the rest of the film is a hard long slog… In the questionable town of Deer Meadow, Washington, FBI Agent Desmond inexplicably disappears while hunting for the man who murdered a teen girl. The killer is never apprehended, and, after experiencing dark visions and supernatural encounters, Agent Dale Cooper chillingly predicts that the culprit will claim another life. Meanwhile, in the more cozy town of Twin Peaks, hedonistic beauty Laura Palmer hangs with lowlifes and seems destined for a grisly fate. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Mason M Fire Walk With Me is easily the best part of the entire Twin Peaks universe. It's cleverly done as a both prequel and sequel to the first two seasons, and it feels like one of David Lynch's first truly David Lynch films. It starts using the filmmaking techniques that Lynch would later master in his last few films, such as Lost Highway or Inland Empire. It's either horrifying or beautiful, and either way, every scene is a delight to the senses. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Vegas J Films that change your life...
