Review of Blue Velvet

Blue Velvet (1986)
9/10
Unearthed scum of American surbubia
30 April 2002
Pros: Score, Cinematography, David lynch's directing, Kyle Mclahan Cons: Overacting by Hopper, Dern, and Rosellini

Top critics really hated this movie when it came out but one of the best movies of the eighties. David lynch's bizarre tale of a seemingly normal surburb but actually and underbelly of crime exists. Lynch infests his alter ego into Mclahan and leads him into a strange tale of sadistic men, strange women and wierd encounters. Lynch at his best. Laura dern, Dennis hopper, Kyle Mclahan and Isabella Rosellini add wonderful acting to the film.

Premise: An ear is found by Mclahan and he must find out who has it and how it got there

Blue velvet was nominated for a single oscar (Best Director)

Grade: 9.2/10 (Required viewing for lynch fans)
