Alternately fascinating and frustrating--and no doubt deliberately so on both counts--this controversial Twin Peaks installment (it was roundly booed by mystified audiences at the Cannes Film Festival) appeared in theaters after the series was canceled, serving as both prequel and coda to the whole remarkable Twin Peaks phenomenon. Designed especially for dedicated followers of the series (it would just bewilder anyone else), Fire Walk with Me further investigates the murder of Laura Palmer by exploring events that took place before the series's brilliant debut feature (Twin Peaks: The Premiere), up to and including the long, dark, terrible night of Laura's death. Familiar Twin Peaks denizens Sheryl Lee, Grace Zabriskie, and Ray Wise (as the three members of the Palmer family), Kyle MacLachlan, Peggy Lipton, James Marshall, Dana Ashbrook, Miguel Ferrer, Maedchen Amick, and director David Lynch himself reprise their series roles (with Moira Kelly subbing for Lara Flynn Boyle as Donna Hayward), joined by an equally motley group of guest stars, including Harry Dean Stanton, David Bowie, Chris Isaak, and Kiefer Sutherland. --Jim Emerson

 Questions in a World of Blue June 29, 2009
Helen Bed (Florida USA)
That title is from the song (lyric by Lynch) that we actually get to see Julee Cruise perform midway through the film. 'Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me' was booed at Cannes, perhaps because it diverges quite a bit from the TV series: it's less funny and more violent. Lynch appears liberated from the constraints of network TV. The sex, drugs and violence depicted go pretty far into 'R' territory. This is definitely for adults only. Some have suggested that the humor in the TV series may have been aimed at making it more palatable for TV. In any case, I found it gratifying that 'Fire' recognizes that the take-off point for the whole Twin Peaks phenomenon was the brutal murder of a homecoming queen who 'had it all'. Lynch is careful not to overplay that hand, but on the deepest level this is not a funny story. 'Fire' forces the viewer to confront that, which might account in part for the hostile reaction to it initially in some quarters. BTW, Sheryl Lynn was about 5 years too old to play Laura Palmer but her performance is so good that her age doesn't matter. This is a major motion picture and major Lynch.
A bizarre prequel to a strange TV series June 28, 2009
David Bonesteel (Fresno, CA United States)
This prequel to the cult TV series "Twin Peaks" depicts the events leading to the death of high school student Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee), the crime which sets in motion the bizarre television program. It is typical David Lynch in the sense that it is confusing, infuriating, hypnotic, and haunting. Don't expect everything to make sense (at least not on the first viewing) and be ready to roll with the weirdness. The TV series was often very funny, but there aren't many laughs here. Rather, the thriller and horror elements are emphasized, and there are some very harrowing scenes indeed. Ray Wise is a criminally underappreciated actor, but he gets a chance to shine here.
 Unbelievably bad May 26, 2009

I'm a movie collector and I've seen hundreds of films. This one might just be the worst film I have ever seen. It made no sense. There was no plot. The lead actress' performance could be described as "not believable as a human being." You couldn't pay me to sit through it again, let alone own it.

Not an initial like, but I finally came around and like it better than most of his work.
Great if you know what you're getting yourself into March 4, 2009

I recently became obsessed with Twin Peaks and made it a personal goal to finish the series and the movie without doing any sort of reading about the show until I was done. I had no idea that Fire Walk With Me was a prequel when I popped it in - and judging by the way the series ended, I had no reason to believe it would be anything other than a tying up of loose ends. So after passing the two hour mark, it dawned on me that we would probably never find out what happened after Coop left the Black Lodge at the end of Season Two - which was a bit disappointing. That said, I really got into the movie and appreciated it as a character study of Laura Palmer. It answered many questions discreetly as far as the mythology of the show and the story of the Black Lodge and its dwellers. But it definitely granted me the element that I wanted most from the movie: the ability to watch the series again in a new light.
