You'll likely forgive its flaws in prtraying the titular character is an object of pity more than a human because of Lynch's skillful direction, the cinematography, and the great acting.

A masterpiece
This is one of the most moving films ever made. John Hurt does a magnificent job under his makeup portraying a human who is only beginning to discover his humanity. This is not a movie for young kids, as it has many disturbing and scary images. For mature viewers, however, it is a must-see.

poignant and moving
This movie is poignant and moving. I applaud Christopher Tucker who did John Hurt's make up. Anthony Hopkins, John Gielgud, and Anne Bancroft are fantastic. An unforgettable movie.
