So I’ve been trying to get into David Lynch because of Twin Peaks return (loved TP but undecided on the movies as of now). I liked this one… I think. I don’t know. It was really interesting to look at and the erniess the sound design creates kind of sneaks up on you. The atmosphere of the whole movie is really impressive actually. It has such a unique and powerful feel. I just wish I cared about the characters/conflict. I’m sure there are many theories on what the movie's about. What I got out of it: because of the modern world we live in today, natural/organic have become gross and disgusting to us. No idea if that’s what Lynch was actually trying to say, but the plants growing around the main character's home grossed me out. And when all these puppies are feeding on their mother it's really gross. And that freakin’ baby - AH! It's all nature/natural stuff though, but it was so gross to see. So yeah, maybe that was the point? I don't really know though.

A very gross, interesting movie. I might like it more than I think I like it haha I don’t know. I guess that's Lynch's style.
