9.5/10
"Lynch juega con nuestra comprensión, con nuestras esperanzas y con nuestra creencia en las imágenes..."  Cinenganos  Alex Ramirez

3.5/4
"I love this movie, and can't wait to have epiphanies about it."  Film Freak Central  Bill Chambers

C
"Mulholland Drive is...either for people much smarter than me who can figure it all out, or for people easily amused by striking imagery and oddball characters."  AboutFilm.com  Carlo Cavagna

3/5
"It's no "Who killed Laura Palmer?", but it's something to chew on."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

90/100
"This freaky, nightmarish ride down Mulholland Drive thrilled me beyond rational explanation"  Apollo Guide  Dan Jardine

4/4
"I do not attempt to grasp what the root of meaning is behind Lynch's shameless manipulation, but watching it unfold is an amazing experience in itself."  Cinemaphile.org  David Keyes

A-
"If you don't see anything else in this very rich work, at least you must admit that Lynch knows his Hollywood."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

4/4
"As perplexing and ominous a motion picture as you're ever likely to see."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

4/4
"A haunting, selfish, difficult masterpiece that literalizes the theory of surrealism as perpetual dream state."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

C-
"Your friend isn't going to be interested in hearing about your dream, and I can't imagine anyone honestly being interested in watching David Lynch's dream-on-film, either."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

2.5/4
"This film is like watching Memento through the eyes of Hunter Thompson dipping into a stash of Lynch’s that would kill a normal human being"  eFilmCritic.com  Erik Childress

A
"It is one of the most intricate mystery films I have ever seen, and the solution, when you realize that it exists and where it's hiding, is remarkably rewarding."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

C
"A puzzle deliberately without a solution--a movie that will appeal only to its maker's most diehard fans, those who will follow him even to an artistic dead end."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

"The best you can do is go with the cinematic flow and let your need to know fall by the wayside."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

2/4
"Lynch is playing a big practical joke on us. He takes characters we have come to care about and obscures their fates in gibberish."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

3.5/4
"Lynch's freedom from traditional narrative and his willingness to twist convention to get at deeper themes is exhilarating"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

7/10
"I look forward to watching this movie again one day to re-experience it."  Window to the Movies  Jeffrey Chen

5/5
"A masterpiece."  Filmcritic.com  Jeremiah Kipp

"Brilliant at times and quite mesmerizing but ultimately frustrating and lacking the cohesiveness needed to make it great."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

8/10
"Lynch, I wanted to strangle you when this movie finished, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that there might've been some twisted sense to the madness"  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

8/10
"Drive is likely to divide critics and fans as decisively as last year's Cannes champ Dancer in the Dark did."  Planet Sick-Boy  Jon Popick

1/5
"The film is performance art, it’s masturbation – apparently very fulfilling for the doer but pretty dang tiresome for the watcher."  Cinerina  Karina Montgomery

A
"...(for) anyone who thinks the medium is dying a slow, commercialized, "See Spot Run" death..."Mulholland Drive" is that glimmer of hope you've been waiting for. "  Countingdown.com  Larry Carroll

A
"Lynch fans should rejoice as "Mulholland Drive" is his best film since "Blue Velvet.""  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

3/4
"A surreal nightmare--darkly realized and frequently disturbing."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

"A refreshing change of pace for moviegoers who prefer a mind warp over another car chase or meet cute, even if it isn't everything we might have hoped for from Lynch's latest."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

4/4
"A maddening, masterful experience."  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina

5/5
"If you need things explained to you, don't bother with this, but if you love a good enigma, I imagine that you'll see it more than once."  Goatdog's Movies  Michael W. Phillips, Jr.

3/5
"If the references in "Blue Velvet" were just too obvious and jejune (in fact, if you have ever used the word "jejune" in conversation), then this movie is for you."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

5/5
"Assista a Cidade dos Sonhos, mesmo que apenas como um exercício de lógica."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

2/4
"The last third of Mulholland Drive looks like a cobbled-together mess of a film, rather than the masterpiece Lynch lovers claim it is."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

B+
"If you’re headed out to the theater and are looking for a bit of mindless Hollywood entertainment, do NOT buy tickets for “Mulholland Drive.”"  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

"A gorgeously rounded picture, one that starts out with a glamorous come-hither wink and has the good grace to follow through, although perhaps not in the way we expect."  Salon.com  Stephanie Zacharek

4/4
"As with any dream-product, it's possessed of endless rewards for the patient, the curious, and the courageous"  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw

3.5/4
"Another strange and twisted film from the bizarre mind of David Lynch."  Oscar Guy  Wesley Lovell
