Reviewed by TheLittleSongbird 7 / 10 If you thought Lost Highway was David Lynch at his strangest, wait until you see Wild At Heart! But a lot of it, especially during the first hour, feels repetitive and slow, and the WIZARD OF OZ allusions are annoying more than anything. It's not all bad, though, because we do get Willem Dafoe in an scene-stealing supporting role, and some decent set-pieces (like the bank job) along the way. Lots of scenes are cheesy or just plain bad. The direction is over the top throughout, with no measure of restraint on view. Cage isn't in touch with reality at all in this one and Laura Dern just comes across as a bad actress. But WILD AT THE HEART feels like it's trying to be deliberately bad. I don't mind slightly crazed or surreal movies, like an earlier Nicolas Cage flick (and out-and-out comedy), RAISING ARIZONA. I can't say I enjoyed this film all that much.
