Lost Highway
8/10
I have wanted to see this movie for about five years now, and now I finally have. Was it worth the wait? In many ways, yes. I'll admit that most of the movie had me scratching my head as to what the hell was going on, but I couldn't help but be transfixed, because watching this movie is a bit like being a passenger on a journey you want to complete if for no other reason than to find out where on Earth the destination is! Very underrated; up there with Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive IMO.
But I'm guessing the reason it didn't fair well at the box office (besides some of the fucked-up imagery) is you either love how the ending slams you in the face with an explanation for 89% of the past two and a half hours in 30 seconds or you hate it as a narrative cop out.
