"I'm not too keen on thinking about tomorrow. And today's slipping by."

Lynch's impact is unavoidable but few have ever been able to replicate the kinds of feelings his films invoke. Lynch creates a sense of dread in his films not just through frightening imagery but most predominantly through the empathy his films have for their characters. Dern's performance is so real, often off-putting but never inauthentic. I felt the horrors she was feeling in every scene.

David Lynch made films that were uniquely strange, but always genuine in their ideas. It feels so wrong that he's gone. Rest in peace.
