Inland Empire Ratings & Reviews
Nicolas Shreiner
January 19, 2025
Not sure what I watched but it was definitely entertaining.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Quickly devolves into self-parody. Dern gives a virtuoso performance, albeit in an overwrought, numbing void.
RogerEbert.com
Jim Emerson
Inland Empire opens and contracts in your imagination while you watch it -- and you're still watching it well after it's left the screen. It's a long but thoroughly absorbing three hours.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
You may find Lynch's experimentalism and willful obscurity to be the work of a poseur, ultimately pointless drivel. I can understand that, but I think you would be wrong.
Detroit News
Tom Long
A can't-miss experience and likely one of the year's very best films.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
A free-fall plunge through David Lynch's imagination, a curious and often astonishing place. The film is dazzling and bewildering in equal measure.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Steve Murray
With Inland Empire, the whole thing feels stuck in Lynch's noggin.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Inland Empire is full of good and bad girls, but [Lynch] gives this obsession an interesting spin by having most of them played by the same actress.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
While you suspect Lynch's digital video acumen will flower into something extraordinary in coming projects, this one's intermittently extraordinary at best.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Inland Empire is essentially a journey inside David Lynch's mind, sometimes burrowing very deep indeed. Nobody else could have made this film; nobody else should try.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
It's a bit like watching the final 40 minutes of Mulholland stretched to three hours and filmed with digital-video cameras available at a Circuit City near you.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
It's worth watching as yet another example of Lynch's extraordinary collaboration with Dern. It may be overstating things to call her performance heroic, but it's nothing if not brave, as she dares to embody Lynch's most brutal impressions of Hollywood.
Slate
Dana Stevens
The effect, after an hour or two, begins to resemble a very anxiety-fraught session of watching music videos on MTV.
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
...The film, which begins promisingly, disappears down so many rabbit holes (one of them involving actual rabbits) that eventually it just disappears for good.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The way to watch it is to skip uneasily along its surface and steel yourself for those moments when Lynch pulls you into the vortex. More than any working filmmaker, he knows the dreamlike power of undertow.
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
Inland Empire might be David Lynch's masterpiece -- or it might just be a total mess. Either way it's vintage Lynch and designed exclusively, it seems, for hardcore fans -- or perhaps solely for the director himself.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
What is Inland Empire -- which Lynch is understandably distributing himself -- about? What is it trying to say? If you figure that out, let me know.
House Next Door
Keith Uhlich
The film is a detailed analysis of Nikki's creative process, of her struggle towards that transcendent point where her art... only connects.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
I can't totally recommend Inland Empire. But something tells me I'd be a fool to totally dismiss it.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
David Lynch's extraordinary, savagely uncompromised new film is as cracked as Mad magazine, though generally more difficult to parse.
