History YMMV / TwinPeaksFireWalkWithMe

* BrokenBase: Some of the original series' fans think it was pretty much needless, added nothing to the series' charm (even [[DarkerandEdgier did the opposite]]) and explained things that didn't need explanations; other fans love it.

** 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 [[MoreThanMindControl fed on to make him do bad things]] or did BOB just create that dark side? We see that he’s unable to engage with the sex workers with his daughter involved, but he also only got in that situation from hiring one intentionally to look like his daughter. He also comments that he always thought Laura knew while killing her, whereas BOB says he never knew she was seeing him.]]

** “No, Donna…you were right! I’M the MUFFIN!” The sulking look afterwards is priceless.

* TearJerker: Dear God, the ending scene in the Red Lodge after Laura's death. We see Laura's spirit, despondent, until she sees that her angel has returned to her, and begins to smile and cry. Sheryl Lee's acting in that scene is something that has to be seen.
** 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 angels wouldn't help you. Because they've all gone away."
** Laura's breakdown when she finds that pages in her diary have been ripped out, snarling that BOB has been having her since she was twelve. Also a bit later when she realises that BOB is her dad, crying and choking on the grass.

* LesYay: The hints of some sort of romantic attachment between Laura and Donna are more explicit in the movie than the show. The fact that Laura was only seen alive in one shaky home-video-style scene in the show kept things pretty ambiguous, but the film shows a RomanticTwoGirlFriendship that ''might'' have gone somewhere else if Laura wasn't so afraid that her sexuality in general would corrupt Donna.

* 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. ''Creator/QuentinTarantino'' personally savaged it. 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 CondemnedByHistory, 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.
