Agree w'ja TA, the travel brochures never tell you about the shallow graves or who gets beaten in the alleyways (or why)
Lynch takes a look under the rug in the "perfect small town" and finds Dennis Hopper at his most screen crazy self
Loved Laura Dern in that too, don't know how any critic could slam it, it's very well acted and original, one of Lynchs better efforts
As Margaret Thatcher once said "The veneer of civilisation is terribly thin..." I think that's what Lynchs take is with this film
