-
"Joltingly violent, wickedly funny and rivetingly erotic."
- Variety Staff, VARIETY -
"Not for the weak of heart, one of the best Lynchian outings with some fantastically memorable dialogue."
- Kenny Matheson, EMPIRE MAGAZINE -
"There is no denying the fun to be had with Wild at Heart. Its irresistibly charismatic leads draw you into Lynch's anything goes, 50s-inflected nightmare with an ease and insanity that's unlike anything put to film before or after."
