I expected very little from this movie, but what I got was simply amazing. I like Lynch, but I wouldn't say I'm a fan. This film, however, held some of the finest emotional storytelling I've ever encountered. It's such a rich expression of love and anger, jealousy, revenge and guilt. I've read through a lot of interpretations and I have to say I think people are thrown off a bit by Lynch's other films. With it's twists and turns, this one has a simple clear and simple narrative in which the emotions boil over into something beautiful and fantastic. Naomi Watt's really powerful, just incredible. Also, Lynch's use of humor is as sharp as ever. And his sense of evil, as a beast so scary just the sight of it can kill, but which resides within us all and haunts our consciousness, is a nice evolution from what he did with Twin Peaks and Blue Velvet. Very underrated. Excellent. Good.
