This film is a slow burn, but definitely worth it. The pacing is perfect, as are the performances of both leads. Add to that a spooky premise and a haunting soundtrack and you've got yourself a contender for this year's best. I won't go into more details and spill my beans plotwise; experiencing this one completely blind is how it should be done.

The Lighthouse confirms Eggers to be a masterful artist, knowing exactly how to bring psychological horror to life. I love these types of films - where they don't rely on cheap scare jumps, but rather build an unsettling atmosphere that makes you feel terrified from the beginning to the end, with just enough lovecraftian elements to it that allows your imagination to run wild.

Definitely deserves a second viewing. And a third, fourth, ...

I'm writing the review rather late, but better now than never. I went to see this movie on its premiere when it came out a couple of years ago - and still it remains the worst film I've watched in the 2010's.

The story is such a mess one doesn't know where to begin. From all the PC crap to plotholes to stupid choices, this is the one Star Wars film that made me loose interest in this franchise's future.

I had quite high expectations regarding this film and was not disappointed one bit when I got a chance to watch it.

Phoenix is brilliant, so is the film's score and overall Scorsese-sque tone. This is not a superhero (or rather villain) film, nor your usual antihero flick. It's a deeper look into what could happen to a person when they feel they don't belong.
