Reviews for Wild at Heart
Top CriticThe result's mostly empty at heart and hollow on top.

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.
01/01/00
The movie's initial intensity is so great, it consumes itself.

For all its torrid sex play and violence, fire is precisely what Wild at Heart lacks. Instead of being wild at heart, it's empty at heart.

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.

Awful

Barry 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.

The movie is lurid melodrama, soap opera, exploitation, put-on and self-satire.

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.

David Lynch's take on The Wizrd of Oz--need I say more?

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