Amazon.com essential video:
David Lynch peeks behind the picket fences of small-town America to reveal a corrupt shadow world of malevolence, sadism, and madness. From the opening shots Lynch turns the Technicolor picture postcard images of middle class homes and tree-lined lanes into a dreamy vision on the edge of nightmare. After his father collapses in a preternaturally eerie sequence, college boy Kyle MacLachlan returns home and stumbles across a severed human ear in a vacant lot. With the help of sweetly innocent high school girl (Laura Dern), he turns junior detective and uncovers a frightening yet darkly compelling world of voyeurism and sex. Drawn deeper into the brutal world of drug dealer and blackmailer Frank, played with raving mania by an obscenity-shouting Dennis Hopper in a career-reviving performance, he loses his innocence and his moral bearings when confronted with pure, unexplainable evil. Isabella Rossellini is terrifyingly desperate as Hopper's sexual slave who becomes MacLachlan's illicit lover, and Dean Stockwell purrs through his role as Hopper's oh-so-suave buddy. Lynch strips his surreally mundane sets to a ghostly austerity, which composer Angelo Badalamenti encourages with the smooth, spooky strains of a lush score. Blue Velvet is a disturbing film that delves into the darkest reaches of psycho-sexual brutality and simply isn't for everyone. But for a viewer who wants to see the cinematic world rocked off its foundations, David Lynch delivers a nightmarish masterpiece. --Sean Axmaker

Rating:  - A SADISTICALLY EROTIC DREAMSCAPE
This is, in my opinion, Lynch's best film. There are few director's that could play with psycho-dramas on a level with Hitchcock. Lynch is one of them, and BLUE VELVET like no other film, of the time ( 1980's ) clawed with perverse glee through the postcard vision of suburbia.
Isabella Rosellini was spellbinding in the role of Dorothy, a lovely, haunted, masochistic toy for Frank, a menacing sadist ( Dennis Hopper in a ferociously, psychotic performance ). The rest of the actors ( especially ... Read More

The Bottom Line:
A bizarre fever-dream of a movie, Blue Velvet succeeds in its attempts to shock and provides several memorable scenes, but the glossy exterior hides its lack of interesting characters and a soul.
Rating:  - Blue Villain
I saw "Blue Velvet" listed in "The New York Times list of Best 1000 Movies ever Made".The reviews that I read suggested that this film was rather "blue" itself and I was reluctant to view it.However, I was able to see it on the IFC channel the other night and I was, frankly, amazed that there was so much praise for it.The acting in "Blue Velvet" was so bad that it's almost embarassing.Laura Dern's grimaces late in the film made her look like an unhappy clown.The lead role was played by a Kyle MacLachlin ...

Rating: - Very close to velvety smooth...
Let it be known that David Lynch has a very unique style; a style that is a very acquired taste.You either love him or you hate him; there is rarely an in-between.I personally love his work (most of it), which is what saddens me a bit about `Blue Velvet'.This is one of those films that is lauded above all his other work as being the best of the best, but it struck me a little cold.The script is flawless (I love the ambiguities that lie within Lynch's work) and the direction, pace and mood acquired is effortlessly ...
