Something about the tone of this film is absolutely terrifying. It really puts you off guard, and then slips under your skin. Some of the sequences and images still haunt me to this day. David Lynch is a genius.

This film is unique. Utterly unique. As it acts as a prequel to the series, it can only be truly appreciated alongside the series itself. But aside from that, this film is quite unlike any other you will see. A definite Lynch classic. Not as surreal as Eraserhead, and slightly more down to earth than Lost Highway, this is Lynch at his surreal/realistic best. Also, it was one of the few films that made me yell aloud out of fright. I have to recommend it, but only if you've seen the whole series.

Absolutely awful: incoherent, meandering, and confusing. Puzzling symbolism and bizarre dream sequences (which are, of course, typical David Lynch elements) need to make SOME modicum of sense to be of any value, but the ones in this movie do not make any sense. Also, many writers deliberately refuse to tie everything up at the end of a film, preferring to provoke the viewer into speculation. But in this case, the viewer is left feeling merely frustrated at the end because of all the unresolved questions. The movie is visually striking and certainly boasts an extraordinary cast, but its incoherence overshadows these assets. Even fans of the TV show "Twin Peaks" with whom I watched this movie were very disappointed.

When this film came out it was panned by the critics, why? well because it was different, weird & surreal. David lynch is one of the masters of surreal cinema, & in Fire Walk With Me he takes the viewer into dark territory, the film has a dream like quality, it also has a sinister under layer which i found appealing, its hard to categorise this film, it's part mystery, part horror, it's got a bit of romance & it's also quite funny, it mixes all these aspects & the result is another Lynch masterpiece. I first saw this film when it came out back in 1992 & i knew i witnessed something special, when i revisit the film i always get something new from it. The film ages like a fine wine the older it gets the better it is. Do yourself a favour check it out, but remember watch it with an open mind!

As much as I love the series "Twin Peaks" I do find that this prequel was unnecessary, for the simple reason that there are no new revelations or mysteries at all. The film merely portrays events that were discussed throughout the two seasons. While the first half of the film is engrossing, the second part depicting the last week of Laura Palmer's life is extremely slow and - not that this is a negative, a warning rather - completely unaccessible for anyone who has not watched the series. It was great to see the original cast return, but the absence of the actress who played Donna in the series was a real distraction. Overall, this critically-slated big screen production of "Twin Peaks" is inaccessible for first-time viewers, and the lack of anything new to ponder on or experience leaves it redundant for the fans.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me is darker and more depressing than anything the show ever did. Laura Palmer's tragic life is extremely unnerving to watch, and Sheryl Lee gives and absolutely amazing performance in her first chance to truly shine as her most iconic character, one that had previously only been seen in photographs and videotapes. If you just finished the show and are expecting some answers from this movie, you'll be as disappointed as critics were back in 1992. But of course, the story isn't over. This is literally only the beginning, and many of the questions raised by the show and this movie are actually answered pretty neatly in The Return (in Lynch's own way, of course). As frustrating as it can be, this might be the most important piece of the puzzle that is Twin Peaks.

This was one of the most critically panned movies of the decade, but only because the world's film critics are too full of their own self-importance to bother watching a masterful TV series like Twin Peaks. All Twin Peaks fans know that this movie is monumental enough to transcend criticism, sure it makes no sense to those who have never seen the TV series, but those people have never lived anyway. Twin Peaks: FWWM, brings a genuine sense of tragic martyrdom to the death of Laura Palmer, as well as being one of the scariest, most surreal and atmospheric movies ever made. Never seen Twin Peaks? Watch the TV series on video first, and then see this incredible prequel.
