The Lighthouse

My 600th film!!I think I can confidently say The Lighthouse is one of the most unique films I’ve ever seen. It’s certainly not for everyone but if you’re into slow, artsy, phenomenally acted, horrifying, psycho sexual fever dreams then you might absolutely love this. Both Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe give performances that are Oscar worthy, even if they didn’t get nominated. Dafoe especially steals the show in many scenes and gives what is probably my favorite performance of his entire career. The cinematography is also some of the absolute best I’ve ever seen. Everything is so meticulously shot to give this gritty and chaotic look. This film is absolutely wild and terrifying in the most entertaining way. I do feel I need to give this a rewatch to soon to fully understand and appreciate it because I really wasn’t prepared for all that this film is. And I’ll probably rate it even higher once I’ve seen it again. Also Robert Pattinson calls Willem Dafoe a rotting foreskin and that’s the funniest insult of all time.
