It's impossible to review this collection of clips (I cannot call it a feature movie) without looking back at Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.
Although I liked TP:Fire Walk With me, I found it lacking in many departments, especially the pacing in the first "Blue Rose & Dale Copper" - prehistory part. Still, the latter part of the movie, about the last 48 hours of Laura's life remain, a chilling and upsetting depiction of a torchured young life. All of this made it for a very uneven film for me.
The Missing Pieces right this wrong. There are many insightful clips that extend the universe and the meanings behind all things Twin Peaks and even make some things in the third season of the TV series more clear.
So basically, if you've watched TP:FWWM and liked it you NEED to watch this. If you are confused with few bits and pieces from the third season of the TV show - you NEED to see this. If you have not watched Fire Walk With Me or you did not care about it, you can skip this - it will look like a whole bunch of nonsense to you. For me it made perfect sense and I enjoyed revisiting the world of Twin Peaks once more.

It is funny that large majority of the reviews here were written after the first episode.
This is a TV show that after the second episode takes so many turns that your head spins. It really has to be binged in order to be fully appreciated. Only after knowing what happened later you can truly understand what happened in the first two episodes and why people behaved like they did.
The ending was shocking to me, I did not see it coming and I wonder what really happened.
For those who say that men were portrayed like the villains - Laura eventually goes on a date with some other guy who seems normal and likable. The supporting cast is definitely not "the stock" kind. Every actor took what was given to him and gave his best.
If this show is really planned for another season I am really looking forward to it.

I really, really have the issue with the cards/titles at the end of the film. Otherwise masterfully directed, superbly acted movie about life of an outstanding individual was pulled to mud of "political correctness" and given a "higher agenda" that it was all about all homosexuals being persecuted in England in the yesteryears. Until the very ending I enjoyed the movie tremendously.
The fact that Turing has taken his own life could have been communicated in numerous other manners, but using titles was the most half-ass effort every seen in a Oscar-worthy film. Giving it more agenda than it already had really put the stain on the movie.
I DO recommend watching the movie, but I really had the issue how the movie at the and had to prostitute itself the Academy.
