"...unwrap this baby and you will discover a whole universe of untold depths and hidden textures in which to become trapped, lost or sublimely elevated. Lynch's debut feature is freakish perfection."  Film4  Anton Bitel

"If you can't rejoice in David Lynch, what is there to be happy about?"  PopMatters  Bill Gibron

A+
"Time drips like old paint in Lynch's surreal experiment, that revels in all things upsetting, disorienting, dark, and mysterious."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

B+
"...I found this imaginative work to be one of the more interesting films to come out of the '70s."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

"Whether there is more here than meets the horrified eye, is debatable, but 'Eraserhead' leaves no viewer cold."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Donald J. Levit

2.5/4
"What’s it about? I can hear you shout. Therein lies the rub: not much really."  Sci-Fi Movie Page  James O'Ehley

5/5
"David Lynch's first feature and, arguably, his best."  Film Threat  Phil Hall

"Lynch's films exist independent of space and time, and only after twisting and turning through their labyrinthine visual corridors can we begin to piece together how they came to be in the first place."  Projection Booth  Rob Humanick

"Eraserhead is a film that seems to require interpretation. Answers, however, are so distant that one wonders if they are even intended."  Not Coming to a Theater Near You  Rumsey Taylor

4/4
"The discomfort we feel with the film indicates that the truths contained in Eraserhead, whatever they may be, are as surely true as they are unexamined."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
