While the director remains firmly behind the wheel for the first hour or so, he cracks up toward the end with sequences that send the film and the audience into a ditch.
Variety
Rating: 4/4 --
[A] necessarily disturbing and equally profound inquiry into human desire, however self-destructive.

City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul
Rating: 10/10 --
Wreckage, physical scarring, sexual encounters heightened by the proximity to danger-these are all esteemed. [Cronenberg made] a stunningly beautiful film, one of perversely satisfying passion... keenly imaginative and darkly satisfying.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
Mr. Cronenberg, for once oddly inhibited by brazen subject matter, has made a meticulously stylized and controlled film that leaves many of its characters' ideas muffled and lacks the true audacity its material demands.
New York Times
Rating: 0/5 --
Wildly unwatchable, as if someone had made Andy Warhol's Frankenstein without being in on the joke.

Rating: 1.5/5 --
So far from being involving or compelling, so intentionally disconnected from any kind of recognizable emotion, that by comparison David Lynch's removed "Lost Highway" plays like "Lassie Come Home."

Description by OLDIES.com:
James Spader stars as James Ballard, a bored film director who explores new realms after a near-fatal accident introduces him to a world of sexually obsessed car crash enthusiasts. Unsatisfied by his marriage, Ballard joins Dr. Helen Remington (Holly Hunter) and begins to explore the eroticism of the car and the sexual violence of auto accidents. His quest eventually leads him to Vaughan (Elias Koteas), a renegade scientist overcome by the erotic power of the crash.
