In the folksy town of Deerfield, Wash., FBI Agent Desmond (Chris Isaak) 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 (Kyle MacLachlan) chillingly predicts that the culprit will claim another life. Meanwhile, in the similarly cozy town of Twin Peaks, hedonistic beauty Lara Palmer (Sheryl Lee) hangs with lowlifes and seems destined for a grisly fate.

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.

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.

In its own singular, deeply strange way, Fire Walk With Me is David Lynch's masterpiece.

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.

It’s eccentric and unsettling enough to keep you on your toes as you watch, but it also keeps so many secrets to the truth about Twin Peaks, about Bob, about Laura that it leaves you wanting more (and then you can watch The Return to satisfy that itch).

Everything is Horrible (Substack)

Though it was pilloried in the past as incomprehensible, it’s past time to see Fire Walk With Me for what it is: Lynch’s most straightforward film, his saddest, and his best.

There could be a sense of play in his craft, but Lynch knew there was also a crushing, overwhelming pain hidden in the remote landscapes.

I knew going in that this film was a prequel to the original show, and that it answered some of the questions the first 2 seasons of the show couldn't answer. What I wasn't expecting was to have my mind, body, and soul transported into a realm that I am still reeling from. I had myself a good time, but only because I knew about half of the original show. I'm definitely going to finish it after watching this film.

One of the best David Lynch films, each time I watch it I see it from different perspectives. Incredible acting by Ray Wise and Sheryl Lee. It is the perfect prequel story to the television series.
