After incisive docs about , and more, director Alexandre O. Philippe gets a little lost behind the curtain dissecting David Lynch's films for echoes. Seven filmmakers/ writers (including Karyn Kusama and John Waters) offer insights that can be provocative (cosmic winds, psychedelic fugues), or problematic. While the overt Oz references are merely obvious, the broader collages can squander focus for a scope that becomes baggy. If David Lowery brings Dorothy home best, it's because he tightens up that slack, and undercuts the looser perspectives pitched here.
