Description

If you’ve never taken a trip into the mind of director David Lynch, this is the place to start. At once beautiful, horrifying, erotic and surreal, this 1986 controversial masterpiece is about the evils that can exist in even the most perfect of places. When college student Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) investigates a mystery in his small town, he unwittingly opens the door to an underworld of murder, sex, kidnapping and blackmail. Dennis Hopper gives one of the big screen’s most unforgettable performances as Frank Booth, a twisted drug sniffing villain with (how does one put it delicately?) “mommy issues.” Voted “one of the greatest films of all time” by Entertainment Weekly.

    One of the absolute worst movies I may have ever seen. I like most of David Lynch's other movies, but Blue Velvet is just...stupid. A complete waste of 2 hours.

  • Disturbingly delicious

    If you like disturbing this is for you. David Lynch’s style oozes out of this movie and hooks you in till the end. It’s not for the faint of heart. Not to watch with kids or parents.

  • A genuine American masterpiece

    With one film David Lynch established a high watermark for American independent cinema that has yet to be equalled. A new genre that's both creepy & sweet, scary and naive, haunting and oddly humorous. A more elegant and hallucinatory slice of American life you will not find.

    Possibly one of the most bizarre, disturbing films I have seen. For the most part the acting is just okay and then there's Dennis Hopper. Scary sick. But I will give it this. Despite the weirdness I couldn't stop watching it. The 3🌟are for those viewers who can make sense of this film.

    Like other Lynch pictures, Blue Velvet requires patience and an open mind. Once you get inside, however, this film will captivate you until the very end in one of the more beautiful sequences of love and reunion I have ever seen.

  • Sick and twisted

    A vile movie about vile people by a sick man.

    First off, the beginning of the story is just about as weird as it gets. From there we are taken on a thrill ride that you will never ever forget.

  • Erotic? Masterpiece?

    Like all David Lynch movies, there's wildly interesting stuff in here. Like all David Lynch movies, it is fundamentally incoherent. The best thing David Lynch ever did was Twin Peaks. He needed to sustain a story and he couldn't resort to stupid vulgarity to distract you from the fact that the plot had no plot. Twin Peaks is a better version of Blue Velvet. Although there's some interesting stuff in here. There always is. But incoherent. That's David Lynch.

    It was slow, it was choppy. The actors I appreciated, but the film itself appeared to be someone's college film class project. Another critical mistake by the critics, right up there with their estimation of Dirty Dancing. LOL
