Reception
In his 2018 autobiography, 'Room To Dream', director David Lynch called it a "beautiful" work and said: "George made a film called 'From The Head'...and when I saw it I knew he'd be a great Ray Monroe" (in 'Twin Peaks')'.'
'The Hollywood Reporter' said it was "far more interesting than a film set entirely in a bathroom has a right to be." 'Shockya' gave it an overall B rating, calling it "a movie of considerable if to-scale surprises."
