Critic Reviews

Variety Staff, Variety
Suspense is clearly lacking in this story with a preordained outcome. Another significant drawback is that long before the climax Laura has become a tiresome teen.
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
It has its moments, but not many, and generally speaking it runs neck and neck with Dune as the least successful and interesting Lynch feature.
-
Vincent Canby, New York Times
The film appears to be an undifferentiated mess of story lines and hallucinations. There's no reason to care which is which. Even Mr. Lynch's eccentric touches become boring. The jokes are stillborn.
-
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
If inspiration is lacking, talent is not. Count Lynch down but never out.
-
Rita Kempley, Washington Post
Fans of the dark comedy will find little to laugh about -- unless it is Lynch's pretentiousness -- in this horrific look at Laura's last seven days.
