Whether you like this or not will depend entirely upon your tolerance for Lynch's work.

I liked Elephant Man on but not Wild at Heart liked Straight Story but not Eraserhead.

That sentence should indicate he is a hit and miss director for me.

Yet despite its odd and disturbing nature I loved this movie. I was hesitant at first to watch it thinking it would be sexually explicit and while a few scenes do go a bit overboard this movie is so intriguing from beginning to end that you're never bored for a second and can't help but love it.

I cannot say I can recommend this for the squeamish but for film buffs and adventurous movie goers this has plenty to offer in the way of goods.

Kyle MchLachlan and Laura Dern are great in their roles Dennis Hopper steals the show in every scene despite playing a disturbing villain. Of course this opened the door for more great villainous roles like Speed for instance which came down the road.

The movie is violent and disturbing but I was never bored for a second and was captivated by the story and performances.

Don't watch if easily disturbed but true film buffs should find plenty to enjoy here.

Tied in my opinion for Lynch's masterpiece with Straight Story as the tied film.

This of course is a profane, sexual and violent drama while Straight Story is a G rated Disney drama but the reason I pick these two is they are dramatically different movies that are superb by one director who proves he can do many different movies very effectively.

If nervous about Blue Velvet watch The Straight Story which is Lynch's cleanest albeit excellent movie. If a little more bold and daring go for Blue Velvet. You can't go wrong either way.
