Movie Reviews of Wild at Heart (Special Edition)

Movie Review: Strange but compelling , not quite sensible , disturbing
Summary: 5 Stars

The reason I like David Lynch's worldview is he gives you the feeling some very strange people could be just around the corner from you .
That feeling is not necessarily a pleasant one , however .

This film is a love or hate experience - the reason for this being the pacing , the accents on small elements other directors would not even acknowledge and the feeling that you the viewer could have the rug pulled out from you any moment .

The main characters are at the mercy of something evil and do their best . Nicolas Cage is very different to his usual persona which also makes the film so enjoyable .

The film is best watched at night .
Try it - you might like it .
Be prepared to discover another world .

Movie Review: Violent, Rauchy Romance anyone???
Summary: 5 Stars

AWESOME MOVIE!!!
Im a huge David Lynch fan! I own all his movies and most everything he's ever touched/helped work on. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!! Even those who don't know or like David Lynch films... will LOVE this movie. Totally Violent, raunchy, campy, dark, comedic (dark), and noir. This is a totally CARNAGE CLASSIC that needs a place next to PULP FICTION!
In the tradition of TRUE ROMANCE, its a totally mash up of Tarantino, John Waters, and David Lynch's signature style. TOTALLY RECOMMENDED to the select collector!
Oh, and Nicholas Cage sings 50's rockabilly music including an Elvis song... and Im not a Huge Nicholas Cage fan, but he does pretty damn well... I was shocked!

Movie Review: Wild at Heart is a sensual masterpiece...
Summary: 5 Stars

Wild at Heart has been on my Best American Films Ever Made list ever since I first saw the film just after its original release. Rather than being incoherent, Wild at Heart is Lynch's most linear, structured film, and vastly superior to Blue Velvet which, to this reviewer, is the more likely film to be accused of incoherence and random visual ranting. Wild at Heart is a sensual masterpiece, filled with wit, dark parables and stunning performances -- has Laura Dern ever had a more memorable role or given a more memorable performance; has Nicholas Cage ever really moved far past the template he created in this film and in "Moonstruck"? Just a wonderful production, Lynch's greatest film story.

Movie Review: The Delicate Barbarian
Summary: 5 Stars

Wild at Heart will not let down any of Lynch's followers. Through two hours of heavy rock and Elvis we travel with Sailor and Lula through the deep south of the US encountering the most sinister personalities that are now a classical in Lynchs movies.

Lynch makes the spectator go through hell and back to portray a beautiful and credible love story which is enhanced by the chemistry shown by the two stars of the movie: Nick Cage and Laura Dern. The film has great moments and as is typical in Lynch little tribute to his favourite film makers. i. e.: Diane Ladds scene in the bathroom with the lipstick on her face. All in all a must see for any Lynch sympathizer or fan.


Movie Review: An existential stew of american mythologies...
Summary: 5 Stars

Why'd I wait so long to rate this film? One of my top favorites for sure. Sort of the other side of GWTW if you get my drift. What a cast & what a set of totally honest very powerful performances starting with Mr. Cage who has never been better. This is one of those movies, like Gummo, that separates the real film freaks from the film class trend-followers. You can tell who the latter are cause they throw Blue Velvet up at you as a more logically structured entity. Or something.

Anyway this is a very artful peek behind the door that most folks like to keep shut. A real cultural gem!
