Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

fugoffreatard Out of all the Lynch movies I've seen, this is my second favorite film of his. Right above Blue Velvet and below Mulholland Drive. This director has made some o the most original films I've ever seen. His stories are simplistic, but the way he presents his films are unlike anything I've seen in films. He is able to present his films in a way where is engaging while at the same time very blissful and dream-like. The dream-like elements in his movies gives so much unpredictability in where the story is going. Making his films feel mystical and atmospheric but also very nightmarish. No other filmmaker can encompass this aesthetic more uniquely than David Lynch. Wild at Heart is a film that has all the magic that I love about Lynch in this comedically nightmarish, romantic road movie. It's not his most serious movie if we're judging it solely as a drama. There are elements in the movie that I could understand people not getting into. But for me personally, this is a film that I can get the most enjoyment out of almost all of Lynch's filmography. It doesn't have the same impact that Mulholland Drive had. That movie is where Lynch perfected his craft and made a one of a kind masterpiece. For Wild at Heart, it's a film that embraces the surreal element rather than absorbing within. But upon revisiting and how it resonated with me in a personal sense, this movie is the kind of film that has so much re-watchable value for me. It's nightmarish, it's intense, it's comedic, it's beautiful. The acting is great, Nicolas Cage giving one of his best performance I've ever seen. It's not a film that I would recommend to first time David Lynch viewers. I would recommend them watching either Blue Velvet or Mulholland Drive first, or maybe the Twin Peaks series. Other than that, I truly adore this film. It's almost everything that I can ever ask for from a popular surrealist filmmaker.

Smoreni Zmaj Story and its linearity are not quite typical for Lynch, but his directing is obvious from the first scene. At times I wanted to pause the movie just to go to IMDb and give it pure ten and then at times I was at the edge to give up on this crap. That kind of conflicted reactions only Lynch can cause. Movie reminds me quite a lot of Natural Born Killers, or should I reverse it considering this one is older. And Laura Dern reminds me of Juliette Lewis too, mostly by acting, but facially in some cadres too. I think Dern and Cage are ugliest movie couple i ever saw and still they have such magical charisma together. Angelo Badalamenti did excellent job with music once again and Cage is surprisingly good in his numbers. Movie is over two hours long and, although it has lots of legendary scenes I will never forget, it has some completely redundant and even cheesy scenes in typically Lynch manner. If he could just cut off those few scenes to bring movie down to more compact shape and size it would be, if not ten, at least strong nine. But in shape it is now I can not give it more than7,5/10I was blown away by scene when Willem Dafoe comes over Laura Dern i motel room. Although this movie is full of awesome scenes, this one left the strongest impression on me.Fun fact - Diane Ladd i Laura Dern, who play roles of mother and daughter, are in fact mother an d daughter in real life. :D

zackkroll Yawn.I had such high expectations for this movie since it's a Lynch and the premise sounds seriously bad ass. But it just isn't. 80% of this movie is just stupid dialogue (from a car), unnecessary sex scenes and Nicholas Cage being an awful actor. I was seriously looking forward to Bobby Peru and even he was a let down.As the title suggests, I did stop watching this movie prematurely. There was about 30 minutes left which came as a major surprise to me since there had been little to no build up at all and the movie was about to end.Creepy characters speaking nonsense (seriously, what the hell are the Cajuns even talking about?) does not make for a compelling movie. A swing and a miss from Lynch.

christopher-underwood Its not perfect and its barely one of Lynch's best but it is still a very good movie and a joy, if a rather scary one, to watch. Laura Dern, apparently foregoing her non nudity clause, puts in a very brave performance, possibly her best. Nicolas Cage, famously variable is spot on in this all the way through. There may be doubts during the narrative as to whether this is intended to be a love story or a hate story but Cage persuades from start to finish with an massive performance. Convincing as the tough, ruthless, almost psychotic, gentle romantic guy. Probably the second most scary person in this is Laura Derry's mother Diane Ladd playing her mother, which is pretty scary in itself but this gets worse and worse. And the award for the most scary person of all goes to - Willem Defoe, but then isn't he always and he finds new ways to be so. Some great scenes, maybe a little overlong, but then Lynch does so love those endless highways.
