Reviews for Wild at Heart
Top CriticThe result's mostly empty at heart and hollow on top.
09/17/08
Even the title is a letdown, somehow.

Top CriticThis winner of the Cannes Film Festival's Palme d'Or is a lunatic road movie seething with the same dark intensity that animates director Lynch's earlier work.
09/17/08
Joltingly violent, wickedly funny and rivetingly erotic.

Top CriticBarry Gifford's beautifully written picaresque novel about southern lovers on the run, though essentially literary, could have worked as a movie had David Lynch shown some fidelity to the realistic context.

It's not a pleasant film by any definition, and it's not remotely for everyone, but it's true to Lynch's vision.

Lynch's paean to Wizard of Oz divided critics when it premeiered at Cannes, and it never found an audience beyond the helmer's fans who enjoyed the fable's couple (Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern) taking their own Yellow Brick Road in search of the wizard
12/20/06
Funny, scary and brilliantly cinematic.
01/26/06
Not for the weak of heart, one of the best Lynchian outings with some fantastically memorable dialogue.

07/01/05
Wild at Heart feels belabored, and it lacks the resonance and power with which the best, most unfiltered passages of Lynch’s work vibrate.
06/12/05
David Lynch does it again.....a hot, heavy, hellish movie
03/11/05
When [Lynch is] on track, though, the film shines with a gaudy beauty.
01/15/05
The film takes its protagonists’ twisted, perverse subconscious as its reality: a world of circus freak hitmen, trailer trash Wicked Witches, and, well, Crispin Glover.
01/15/05
David Lynch at his cracked best
