I think it's a weak film. Lynch certainly knows how to make dramas, and colorful pieces out of apparently ordinary stories. Perhaps, Mulholand Drive is too complicated for me, but for me it's just a more or less puzzle, without a point, or motive. It's unlike Memento, Pulp Fiction, or The Usual Suspect, whose complex structures seem to be an attempt at explaining something; they have motives, and therefore their presentations are necessarily and naturally complex. All Mulholand Drive presents is simply a puzzle, with dramatic effects, and that's all. Its many possible interpretations exist not because the many different philosophies and perceptions of different viewers, but because of its inherent obscurity -- a lack of motive, a deserved topic to be explored in a film.
