In the folksy town of Deerfield, Wash., FBI Agent Desmond (Chris Isaak) inexplicably disappears while hunting for the man who murdered a teen girl. The killer is never apprehended, and, after experiencing dark visions and supernatural encounters, Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) chillingly predicts that the culprit will claim another life. Meanwhile, in the similarly cozy town of Twin Peaks, hedonistic beauty Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) hangs with lowlifes and seems destined for a grisly fate.

Critics Consensus

For better or worse, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is every bit as strange and twisted as you'd expect from David Lynch.

David Lynch's prequel film, maligned upon its initial release, can now be seen as a hinge in his filmography - and a hint of what's to come.

In its own singular, deeply strange way, Fire Walk With Me is David Lynch's masterpiece.

There have always been two sides to Lynch: the inscrutable, demonic prankster and the rhapsodic dreamer. In Fire Walk With Me, he's at least trying to recover his poetic sincerity. If only his dreams weren't starting to look like reruns.

4/5

David Lynch’s Fire Walk With Me, the controversial part-prequel, part-sequel to Twin Peaks, is a chilling and enthralling journey towards inescapable tragedy.

An ungainly and unnecessary prequel to the excellent TV series.

absolutely earth-shattering film. Lynch's best and most powerful work, full to the brim with incredible performances by the whole cast.

I knew going in that this film was a prequel to the original show, and that it answered some of the questions the first 2 seasons of the show couldn't answer. What I wasn't expecting was to have my mind, body, and soul transported into a realm that I am still reeling from. I had myself a good time, but only because I knew about half of the original show. I'm definitely going to finish it after watching this film.

One of the best David Lynch films, each time I watch it I see it from different perspectives. Incredible acting by Ray Wise and Sheryl Lee. It is the perfect prequel story to the television series.

Here lies a movie I will never watch again, will never remember any lines from, and will not recommend.

Twin Peaks Fire Walk with Me is a painful and essential extension of the series, not because it explains the mystery, but because it transforms it into a direct encounter with Laura Palmer. David Lynch turns the world of Twin Peaks into something darker, more intimate and more emotionally devastating. Sheryl Lee gives an extraordinary performance, making Laura feel vulnerable, exhausted and painfully human. Ray Wise and Frank Silva intensify the horror around her, while Angelo Badalamenti's music and Julee Cruise's voice turn grief into atmosphere. The film preserves the mystery of the series while giving it deeper emotional meaning. Its symbols, sounds and images continue to echo after it ends. Fire Walk with Me is hypnotic, strange and deeply human, a work that does not simply complement Twin Peaks, but changes the way its entire universe is felt.

Outrageously disturbing but perfectly made. Lynch is a genius.
