NEW YORK TIMES
By surrendering any semblance of rationality to create a post-Freudian, pulp-fiction fever dream of a movie, Mr. Lynch ends up shooting the moon with Mulholland Drive.
ROLLING STONE
The challenge is exhilarating. You can discover a lot about yourself by getting lost in Mulholland Drive. It grips you like a dream that won't let go.
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Like "Memento," Mulholland Drive is an amnesiac noir in the tradition that goes back to "Spellbound" and "Somewhere in the Night."

MY TAKE
This movie is a masterpiece by David Lynch. I couldnt even understand the fundamental plot after watching it. It began like any typical thriller movie and advanced to something that needs to be re-watched to comprehend.
After comleting, I went for "Explanation" Videos in YouTube and other medias. And then, it struck me like lightning. It made sense now. That was the strength of this movie. It commenses as a detective movie and then takes a u-turn.
Kudos to Naomi Watts for her terrific acting. Even if the movie does'nt make sense at first, the psychodrama, mystery, surreal horror, black humour, and unexpected romance should keep you latched on to your seats. David Lynch said that this movie is open to interpretations. So, instead of pursuing the mass, you could make your own interpreted version of Mulholland Drive. Last but not least, Direction and Screenplay was over-the-top. Thereon watching you may wonder David Lynch was born to create such films.
