Customer Reviews of Twin Peaks - Fire Walk with Me

Ignorance is bliss
...Anyone who has done the least bit of research will know that David Lynch has final cut of everything he does. He chose to cut the movie down from its original inception. Please know that this is a fantastic movie, and the DVD IS Lynch-approved. As for the commentary and deleted scenes, Lynch has stated many times that he will NEVER do commentary, and does not agree whole-heartedly with including deleted scenes. He also refuses to use chapter stops (this is good). If you need someone to hold your hand while you watch this movie, and explain how to think for yourself, then I propose you find a different film to watch.

Very Dark, but Totally Lynch!
I did not see the original TV series when it aired on television. I got introduced to the series in a strange way.

I read the review for TP: FWWM and was intrigued. So, I rushed to my video store to rent the first seven episodes (at the time, the only ones on video). Then I saw the film.

I must have been living under a rock (or something) when the TV series was out, because I had no idea who killed Laura Palmer. Therefore, the movie was a very interesting experience, since, unlike other Peakers, I truly didn't know the ending.

I don't necessarily recommend this approach. See the entire series first, then rent the film. But I'll never forget how fascinating it was for me sitting in the movie theater and realizing that Leland was his daughter's killer!

I have gotten more from TP: FWWM after having seen the series, which by now I do own on video and have seen many times.

The movie is much darker than the TV series, and although I enjoy the episodes of Twin Peaks better than the film, the movie is still a must-see.

Even though it is a "prequal" there are still some unanswered questions. Just what is a "blue rose case" and where the heck did Chet Desmond go? Knowing Lynch we probably will never know.

garmonbozia, all right.
See, this movie is yet another intentional turkey in the David Lynch stinkography. When will you people believe me when I tell you the man simply likes to make bad movies?!? The picture comes off as a demented episode of Northern Exposure with the plot-wiring torn out and the character development up on blocks. Throw in the obligatory sinister midget and sundry unemployed freaks and... Weee're in business! Oh, wait... we need something for the characters to do... well, they can all just take turns going insane, can't they? Problem solved! David Lynch is a modern freak show operator. The freak show has never gone away. It has just been billed as something else.
