      Critics Consensus

      One of director David Lynch's more uneven efforts, Wild at Heart is held together by his distinctive sensibilities and compelling work from Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern. Read critic reviews

        Wild at Heart is a crazy ride through a crazy land filled with all manner of crazy people. The film can be many things: comedy, romance, adventure, thriller, horror, etc. It draws many comparisons as well: Repo Man, Raising Arizona, Easy Rider. But at its core it is a unique love story that works. Wild at Heart is the type of film you just have to see for yourself.

        Lynch's strongest work is done when he fully embraces the most surreal aspects of filmmaking. In Wild at Heart we instead see something more reminiscent of Thelma and Louise with a handful of blatant Wizard of Oz references and the added disadvantage of Nic Cage in the leading role.
