6/10

"Wild at Heart" quickly becomes completely incomprehensible and mired down in David Lynch's typical quagmire of self indulgence which successfully aggravates, alienates and frustrates mainstream audiences just for the hell of it which is perfectly okay, but what isn't perfectly okay is when the story is abandoned even though it is still as inconclusive at the end as it was in the beginning. The problems confronting Sailor and Lula are never satisfactorily resolved and the character Johnnie Farregut actually goes completely AWOL and he is never heard from again. This is a watchable enough film in its own uniquely eccentric way, but it is far from being satisfying and the story seems to provide nothing more than an extremely loose and disposable framework upon which to hang a film that is all too easy to forget.
