if you do not like bad acting and poor editing and ridiculous dialog and unbelievable character you will hate this movie . if you like all of the above and that be to say if you be a lynch fan and then you will love mulholland drive . this be quite possibly the bad film to be rat above an 7 . 0 on imdb . outside of naomi watts work and you will be hard press to find any competent acting in mulholland dr. the other female lead go to the hide your face with your hand when you do not have the chops school of act . give the script they have to work with it a wonder all of the actor weren not hold their head in their hand . character wander in and out of the film that do nothing to advance the storyline . you have a hitman and a mysterious cowboy and an adulterous wife and her cliche would poolman lover and a mafioso type figure sit in a darkened room who speak through an external voice box and a host of others too numerous and tedious to mention . suffice it to say that they manage to do little more than fill up screen time . this isn not so bad however in that it distract the viewer from the fact that the movie have no discernable plot . you will wait and wait for for all of the loose thread to come together and in the end you will be abysmally disappointed . the hard thing for a writer to do be to bring everything together in a believable fashion at the end of a movie in a way that leave everyone feeling fulfil . the easy thing for a writer to do be to create a lot of odd character and put them in scene that be not connect to the movie a a whole and then to take what few coherent thread there be and jumble them up at the end for the sake of surprise . guess which way lynch go . surprise . you know you have a bad script when you have to resort to dream sequence to make any sense out of it . after all and a dream sequence cover all sin . dream do not have to make sense . anything can happen in a dream . the editing be similarly disjoint . let just say good editing do not call attention to itself . much of the way this film be edit seem to be do for the sole purpose of call attention to the editing . look at me . you can see my edit . aren not i a genius . uh and well . no . this movie have all of the earmark of the bad and most self indulgent french film . so why be this movie so popular . my theory be that it be just another sign of the decay of our culture . melody be hard to compose so let listen to rap . plot be hard to follow so let dispense with them . picture be difficult to paint so let pee in a cup and stick a crucifix in it . these be the symptom of our time and mulholland drive be just another part of the affliction .
