Re: Press Review

Sculpting in Time (Vadim Rizov / Filmmaker Magazine) Having to answer to no one, Lynch drags TV away from dialogue and into gallery-land: each room and space has been exquisitely color-graded, each signature ominous room tone/bass rumble personally sound-designed by Lynch himself. Confounding doesn...

Re: Press Review

Lynch Unleashed (Laura Miller | Slate) From the opening shots, the series has the stretched-out rhythm of a Lynch film: dialogue scenes full of long pauses and repetitions, techniques that at first feel stilted then inexorably reshape your sense of how a story can unfold on screen. If you squirm at...

Re: Press Review

Welcome to Twin Peaks : The Return | The Return (Scott Wampler / Birth Movies Death) The Box is a perfect Lynch invention. It's something we've never seen before in the PEAKS universe, and to look at it is to have a million questions about it. What're those floodlights meant to illuminate? All thos...

‘Twin Peaks’ is Flying Into Its Finale: Why All That Action Could Lead to a Definitive Ending (Ben Travers / IndieWire) What Cooper went through as Dougie still matters. That life isn’t one to be tossed aside in favor of a larger plot. As much was made clear when he knelt down with Janey-E (Naomi W...

James IS still cool (Darren Franich | Entertainment Weekly) An arm-wrestling match! A sparkling gym set! A conga line! A back massage! The thirteenth part of the revival season of Twin Peaks had all that and a bag of chips, plus a returning character from the original series, plus a frank conversat...

Re: Press Review

The two scenes that say a lot about The Return (Nick Mitchell | The i Paper) Other (lesser?) TV shows deal in neat character arcs, set-ups at the beginning that lead to pay-offs at the end, bad characters who are punished, good characters who are rewarded (eventually at least); an overall sense of ...

Re: Press Review

There’s No Backup for This (Scott Tobias | The New York Times) the 11th episode was a bracing reminder of how much Lynch’s characters — and, by extension, us — accept the premises they and we are given. When Hawk presents Sheriff Truman with a map “that’s very old but always current,” he accepts th...

Re: Press Review

A Game of Opposites (Clarisse Loughrey / The Independent) this episode bears perhaps one of the first examples of Lynch’s distinctive approach not being entirely successful, specifically in one scene that sees a violent rampage against a woman by a hitman, with Dougie next on his list of targets. h...

Re: Press Review

Grab a golden shovel and dig through part 5 of Twin Peaks (RoundTable / The AV Club) One of the biggest questions I had going into a new season of Twin Peaks was how the show would fare against the instant scrutiny of the recap age—whether the ambiguity that made the original series so memorable co...
