Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me

"Strange and viscerally uncomfortable which I expect nothing less from David Lynch. I like the narrative of how the mind can play tricks on you when it comes to trauma out of perfection. I think this was a great way to show Laura Palmer’s last few days on earth and what she was going through and how gut churning it was. I can see why they made this as a separate thing."

"Spooktober: In a year where I've watched many more explicitly horror films including a couple that have been billed to me as some of the "most disturbing of all time" Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me is the only one so far that I've felt the need to watch something soft to come down from. I would describe the vibe of this film as "viscerally uncomfortable" for me at least and I kind of loved it. I know Fire Walk With Me is divisive with Twin Peaks fans, and I think that's fair as it's more uncomfortable than Twin Peaks the show ever was and that's not going to be for everyone. Although, I did come to understand things about the story and characters of Twin Peaks through this movie. Whether that's because it's more widely hinted or I'm just more media literate now than when I watched the original at 19 I'm not sure. Possibly both are true. But because of that whatever the reason I do genuinely think this to be a vital piece of Twin Peaks to be taken with everything else. Can't wait to watch The Return in 2035."

"Forever a favorite. 🤍"

"I know this was not well-received when it first came out, and it's admittedly very disturbing, but combined with season 3, it helps answer some of the lingering mysteries of the original series. (Of course, Lynch being Lynch, season 3 raises a whole new set of questions)"
