Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Lynch, as he does with all his films, refuses to explain anything, although he does say that he has yet to read an interpretation that matches his.

fresh:
Some of it is disturbing, some of it is embarrassingly flat, but all of it shows a degree of technical accomplishment far beyond anything else on the midnight-show circuit.

rotten:
The mind boggles to learn that Lynch labored on this pic for five years.

A murkily pretentious shocker.

fresh:
What makes Eraserhead great -- and still, perhaps the best of all Lynch's films? Intensity. Nightmare clarity. And perhaps also it's the single-mindedness of its vision.
