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 Noah Berlatsky 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. Jan 23, 2025 Full Review Chase Hutchinson The Stranger (Seattle, WA) 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. Jan 22, 2025 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 Read all reviews

Alec B Despite the fact that certain characters are missing or recast, this feels totally uncompromised and the product of a pure and unfiltered vision from Lynch. This started with the original show's final episode, continued here, and then was completed in The Return. Also -If you're a fan of the first two seasons and hate this movie then I'm sorry to say that you liked the wrong things about the show. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review Esra Y Haunting and bloodchilling. Movie is filled with Lynch's specific kind of storytelling, His signature intricate, hazy style is hinted which he mastered in his later works. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/25 Full Review Audience Member I don’t know how to rate this movie, so I’ll just give it 4 and a half stars. This was one of, if not the single most disturbing thing I have ever seen. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/25 Full Review Mr L This the peak (no pun intended) example of how a movie ages over time. This is definitely top 5 most devistating endings of all time, and the film's themes and subject matter are more relevant today then ever. When this movie came out, it was a flop and some even called it "the worst movie of all time". I think its because the innocent audiences thought they would get any kind of closure for the shows cliff hanger ending, and were dissapointed when they got nothing. But I think this movie's true redemption happened when people started looking at its themes and subject matters. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review Tyrah B I thought this movie was intense and had some wild scenes in it. The way the movie was filmed was very dreamlike and psychologically deep. I probably would not watch it again. It was a one and done type of movie. It dives deep into Lauras death and it was just very strange. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review 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 Read all reviews
