Inland Empire (David Lynch, 2006)

8/10
I was really not expecting to like this, but I did. I was never bored for its 3 hour runtime (impressive considering the way the plot seems to come and go) which is the main thing...I can't even act like I know what half of it meant but then, I don't think Lynch or any of the actors do either, so I won't be too hard on myself. Laura Dern was exceptional though and I was genuinely freaked out at parts.
Elephant Man is still my favorite Lynch movie but I'd have to think this is his magnum opus (in terms of "Lynchian" films, which Elephant Man really isn't) and I have no idea how he's going to top it.
