I marked this movie as a failure. The start was interesting and, even if terribly slow ( I had to watch the movie in three separate days because of dozing off ), did set up an eerie atmosphere and made me personally connect with the lead. However, after 2 thirds of the movie set up the mood, another movie started. And it sucked.
Frankly I think the director dozed off at his own movie and other people finished it. The (non)ending keeps one thinking because either way you try to see it, it is still a nonsensical and unimportant ending for the previous hour of movie.
Conclusion: if you liked Lynch movies, you will probably appreciate this one. If you thought they were mostly pretentious crap that the director made for his own twisted viewing pleasure, then you will hate it. Little or no soundtrack, weird low octave background noise, slow moving and talking people, illogical behavior of the characters, this movie has it all. Basically, this movie is not a killer.
