You’ll like Mulholland Drive if you enjoy surreal, slow-burn mysteries that linger after the credits, especially if you like Blue Velvet or Lost Highway; Not for you if you want a straightforward explanation on the first watch.
Pros: dreamy, unsettling atmosphere; thought-provoking mystery; memorable performances | Cons: very confusing plot; patience required; not for casual viewers
