it actually isnt..its still david lynch so its an automatic that youll never TRULY get what's going on...but if you watch very closely, a lot of what happens in the third act (last 40+ minutes of it) is revealed early on in the first two acts--subtly..im getting the general impression that folk expected everything to be laid out in front of them one thing after the other one...but its a very good film. i see why folk either hate it or like it...but, its really not that hard to figure out, at least it wasnt for me.
