This 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.

Not David Lynch's most intriguing work, but as usual the bizarro characters and situations are far from dull.

Critics nationally are falling all over themselves over David Lynch's latest movie Wild at Heart. But for me it was neither revealing nor enlightening -- and it certainly wasn't entertaining.

Funny, scary and brilliantly cinematic.

Top CriticWild at Heart feels belabored, and it lacks the resonance and power with which the best, most unfiltered passages of Lynch’s work vibrate.

When [Lynch is] on track, though, the film shines with a gaudy beauty.
