FWWM was panned in today's _Globe and Mail_ by film critic Jay Scott.
In a review consisting only of four very short paragraphs, Scott said
that FWWM is crammed with "nudity, sadism, torture and misogyny of every
sort, imaginable and not."

He went on: "_Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me_ is a two-hour plus
surrealistic bummer--it makes the audience feel as if it is coming
down from a virulent drug...One of the many ripoffs related to
this disgusting, misanthropic movie is that the audience crashes
without first having flown--it gets the DTs without ever having
had a drink."

Scott finished by giving the film a rating of zero. Notably absent
from his review was any discussion of the acting, dialogue, or plot
of FWWM, or indeed any thoughtful consideration of Lynch's style. 
He simply called it "disgusting" and "misanthropic" and, refusing
to elaborate, left it at that.

I suspect this won't be the last such review of FWWM. Comments?
