I should like Lynch, but I don’t. Lynch-style movies not involving Lynch are things I enjoy. There’s something about his movies that’s off-putting (and not in the way they’re intended). I think it’s the campiness of his films just take me out of them. He goes for dark but it feels too kitsch. They’re also slow. A lot of time spent lingering a few too many seconds on one shot. Those seconds add up and make them longer films than they should be.
He’s not the worst and I wouldn’t even use the term “overrated.” I think I just don’t like him.
I saw Eraserhead on recommendation from a colleague, however I had just had my first child. It was an experience that hit home pretty hard. I like Lynch, and I think Eraserhead really hit a certain aspect of parenthood on the nose with a shockingly loud concrete newspaper.

Eraserhead was one of my favorite movies haha, but not something I’d recommend to most people, I enjoyed the production and sound design

This is how I feel about John Waters.
