« Une romance vraiment déjantée signée David Lynch, avec une tête joliment flinguée et de nombreuses références au Magicien d'Oz. Au fil des ans, je trouve que les films de Lynch vieillissent comme du bon vin et à chaque visionnage, j'apprécie de plus en plus Sailor et Lula. » Voilà ce que j’écrivais il y a exactement dix ans et aujourd’hui, après plusieurs visionnages de plus, y compris une projection sur grand écran, j’affirmerai qu’on est en présence d’une œuvre unique non seulement dans la filmographie de David Lynch, mais également dans l’ensemble du cinéma mondial.

"Fuck Me. Fuck Me," or the pleading of the wonderfully slimy Willem Dafoe in one of the memorable scenes in a typical showcase of madness by Lynch – you can think what you want about it, but you can't take your eyes off it. Three stars for Lynch’s poetics and one star for Dafoe’s rotten teeth and blown off head.

The most insane romance I’ve ever seen. Even though it has plenty of Lynch’s abnormality, Wild At heart was missing something that would make it not just weird, but unforgettably weird. That said, Cage, Dern and especially Defoe deliver remarkable creations that help the film to get somewhere just below the summit of the audience’s refined tastes (in the good sense). 7/10

Wild at Heart is kind of like Indiana Jones in Lynch's style. The director took a trashy literary motif and turned it into an intelligent parody of the genre. Additionally, he added his classic ingredients, such as perversion, craziness, and the madness of his characters, so that a viewer who has seen, for example, Blue Velvet, essentially gets the same thing, but much stronger, like a punch to the face. It's a subtle parody, where the director intentionally exaggerates his characters into caricatures. The film is interesting in how it mixes insane music into romantic or dark thriller situations. It uses his favorite actors, such as Laura Dern, who know well what kind of weirdo Lynch is and can meet him halfway. At the same time, Lynch doesn't go into purely hallucinogenic territory here and the film is consumable for a wider audience. Overall impression: 80%.

Not a dynamic road movie, but a brutal and somewhat crazy ride, whose content I either didn't understand or is really as idiotic as it seemed to me. David Lynch himself in his prime again, serving one oddity after another. Some scenes were so insane that I absolutely didn't get them, others were completely unrelated to the story, and Lynch also edits in a terribly confusing way for my taste.

I was very worried about what David Lynch would serve me this time. From the premise, however, it seemed that this film couldn't possibly turn out to be an intellectual mess, though with Lynch you really never know. In any case, I was once again treated to a terribly weird film, with weird characters, a weird story and a downright weird and unpleasant atmosphere that lingered with me long after it was over. But weird can also mean original, interesting, engaging, distressing... And that’s exactly how I see Wild at Heart. It's another unconventional Lynch for the discerning viewer, but it has charm and excellent direction, which this time makes all the strange and mystical work for the cause. And it also has a great cast led by a young Cage, the resilient Laura Dern and the disgustingly sleazy Willem Dafoe, whose verbal seduction I'm not likely to forget, though I'd quite love to. Lynch really knows his stuff, I'm sorry that I don't have such an appreciation for his "mindfuck" gems anymore.

Wild at Heart is, imho, mostly a terribly funny repository of hellish characters that Lynch didn't know where else to shove.

An incredibly raw film that builds up to the moment of a bank heist, where Lynch manages to stun you with just one scene. If you thought it was intense up until then, you’re in for quite the shock. He can incredibly construct a film, choose the right actors for every role, and direct them in a perfect spirit. No, it's not a normal film; it's still Lynch, but his parallel with "The Wizard of Oz" is excellent. I haven't read the source material, but I'm convinced that the screenplay differs significantly from it. And if not, then there are two Lynches.
