Wants to be a Lynch film so bad yet lacking the Freudian and Jungian grasp which Lynch expertly utilises in his films while dextrously building the subconscious narrative that hides underneath the iceberg. This time though, everything seems to be left for the aha moment and it’s still effective once it comes but never reaching the depths of Mulholland Dr or Lost Highway. Still a decent effort that unfortunately overdoses on dutch angles but uses CGI cinematography and transition at its best to create the dreamy vibes. Might be a fine prerequisite to enjoying Lynch films but never to be taken as seriously.

I loved Sacha Baron Cohen and his previous works. I even liked Who is America because even though it was also clearly biased it was at least funny and it made fun of both of…
