History YMMV / TwinPeaksFireWalkWithMe

** MIKE can be seen as having faked atonement especially with his last scene where he and the Man from Another Place demand their share of the Garmonbozia. Instead of wanting to stop BOB for any good reason, he's simply after the Garmonbozia for himself. Or that was him denouncing BOB as MIKE had [[spoiler:foiled his attempt at possessing Laura]]. Or it could just be a necessity for him to live, HeelFaceTurn or no. Or the presence of [[spoiler:a man who may be the Arm he cut off which represented his evil]] was affecting him negatively. It’s worth noting that The Man from Another Place is pressed up against where MIKE’s arm would have been, and that the two are speaking in a creepy unison that seems oddly forced on MIKE’s part, as if he were a ventriloquist dummy that was being controlled.

* VindicatedByHistory: The premiere of the film at Cannes was greeted by boos and jeers, and most American reviews of the film upon its release were highly unfavourable, accusing the film of betraying fans of the series. European reviews of the film were more favourable, however, and over time the film has undergone a significant critical reevaluation, to the point that it is considered one of Lynch's better films and an significant step in his evolution as a film maker. The initial negative reaction is nowadays mostly seen as the result of the film being released at a time when most professional critics saw everything ''Twin Peaks'' as DeaderThanDisco, and therefore never had any intention of giving the film a fair shake. More recently, it has also come to be seen as a crucial part of the story told in the series revival (which is tonally closer to this movie than the original series), bringing things full circle.

* HilariousInHindsight: The opening sequence is set in Fargo, North Dakota, somewhere that would also become well known for [[Film/{{Fargo}} crimes with]] [[Series/{{Fargo}} their own brand of vaguely supernatural weirdness]].

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hOERnIuvbg The film's theme itself]], fittingly enough a twist on "Laura Plamer's Theme" from the series, featuring really melancholic trumpet playing as sort of lead singer.

%%* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: "BOB.... I want all my... Garmonbozzzziiiiaaa...."

* OneSceneWonder: Loads of these. Music/DavidBowie shows up for all of a minute as Agent Jeffries (whose role in the shooting script was slightly larger), Harry Dean Stanton as a bizarre trailer park landlord, etc.

* AwesomeMusic:

** Donna asks Laura what would happen if a person were falling in space. Her answer. "Faster and faster. And for a long time you wouldn't feel anything. And then you'd burst into fire. Forever... And the angel's wouldn't help you. Because they've all gone away."

** The film also puts into question Leland Palmer's image as a good father. [[spoiler:How much of his behavior is because of BOB's possession? Is BOB really controlling him, or is he just influencing him? Did Leland have a dark side that BOB fed on to make him do bad things or did BOB just create that dark side?]]

** The Man from Another Place can easily be seen as a malevolent figure here. He may just be opposing BOB because [[spoiler:BOB is hogging all the Garmonbozia from the other Black Lodge denizens, rather than for any noble reason. Similarly he might be [[spoileR:MIKE's evil side judging by his comments that he is The Arm]]. And even if these interpretations are true he might still just be a case of BlueAndOrangeMorality acting in a way that seems evil but is ultimately alien in his motives.

* AbusiveParents: Specifically, Sarah Palmer. Why in God's name didn't she try to get some help for Leland? During the dinner scene, he psychologically abuses Laura right in front of Sarah, and his behaviour is way beyond normal overprotective parenting, even if he had a legitimate reason to suspect Laura of seeing multiple boys.
