As you would expect from visionary director David Lynch, it is a movie of often staggering visual power, the most ambitious science fiction film since "2001"; it's also stupefyingly dull and disorderly. January 4, 2018 | Full Review…

David Lynch is a brilliant filmmaker who also flies in the face of the status quo, delivering challenging tales in bizarre fashion. That is what makes his DUNE such an accomplishment rather than the failure it is always claimed to be. October 26, 2020 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…
