Ein erotisches, brutales, beunruhigendes Roadmovie voll schwarzem Humor, das einmal mehr David Lynchs Status als faszinierendsten und originellsten Filmemacher seiner Generation bestätigt. Die exzentrische Hommage an den "Zauberer von Oz" entführt Sailor und Lula bei ihrem Versuch, den Fängen von Lulas böser Mutter der Oscar-nominierten Diane Ladd zu entkommen, auf eine der bizarrsten Reisen aller Zeiten. (Universal Pictures Germany)

"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.

„Eine wahrhaft verrückte Romanze unter der Regie von David Lynch mit einem wirklich verrückten Kopf und zahlreichen Verweisen auf den Zauberkünstler aus dem Land Oz. Im Laufe der Jahre habe ich herausgefunden, dass Lynch's Filme mit jedem weiteren Anschauen wie Wein reifen und ich schätze Wild at Heart immer mehr.“ - Das habe ich genau vor zehn Jahren über den Film geschrieben und nach einigen weiteren Ansichten, einschließlich einer Vorführung auf der großen Leinwand, füge ich nur hinzu, dass es einfach eine einzigartige Leistung ist, sowohl in David Lynch's Filmografie als auch im weltweiten Kino im Allgemeinen.

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 until the moment of the bank robbery, when Lynch manages to knock you out with just one scene. If you thought it was tough until then, you'll be shocked at that moment. He can incredibly construct a film, choose the right actors for all the roles, and direct them in a perfect spirit. No, this is not a normal film, it's still Lynch, but its resemblance to "The Wizard of Oz" is excellent. I haven't read the original, but I am convinced that the screenplay differs from it a lot. And if not, then there are two Lynches.
