===Home media=== The film was released on [[VHS]] and [[DVD]] by Universal Studios Home Video on April 9, 2002,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hive4media.com/news/html/Product_article.cfm?article_id=2603|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020318095141/http://www.hive4media.com/news/html/Product_article.cfm?article_id=2603|title=MulhollandDrive Speeds To Video|website=hive4media.com|archive-date=March 18, 2002|date=February 14, 2002|access-date=September 10, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> in the United States and Canada, with few special features. It was released without chapter stops, a feature that Lynch objects to on the grounds that it "demystifies" the film.<ref>{{cite news |last=Rafferty |first=Terrence |author-link=Terrence Rafferty |title=Everybody Gets a Cut |date=May 4, 2003 |newspaper=The New York Times |url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C00E5D9133DF937A35756C0A9659C8B63&pagewanted=4 |quote=[Lynch] has in recent years refused to allow voice-over commentary or scene access on the DVDs of his films. "The film is the thing", he tells me. "For me, the world you go into in a film is so delicate β it can be broken so easily. It's so tender. And it's essential to hold that world together, to keep it safe." He says he thinks "it's crazy to go in and fiddle with the film", considers [[audio commentary|voice-overs]] "theater of the absurd" and is concerned that too many DVD extras can "demystify" a film. "Do not demystify", he declares, with ardor. "When you know too much, you can never see the film the same way again. It's ruined for you for good. All the magic leaks out, and it's putrefied." |access-date=August 10, 2012 }}</ref> Nick Coccellato of Eccentric Cinema gave the film a rating of nine out of ten and the DVD release an eight out of ten, saying that the lack of special features "only adds to the mystery the film itself possesses, in abundance".<ref name="EC">{{Cite web |last=Coccellato |first=Nick |work=Eccentric Cinema |editor-last=Linsdey |editor-first=Brian |title=MULHOLLAND DR. |url=http://www.eccentric-cinema.com/cult_movies2008/mulholland_dr.htm |date=June 4, 2008 |access-date=February 3, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130324022356/http://www.eccentric-cinema.com/cult_movies2008/mulholland_dr.htm |archive-date=March 24, 2013 }}</ref> Special features in later versions and overseas versions of the DVD include a Lynch interview at the Cannes Film Festival and highlights of the debut of the film at Cannes.
