Atom User Reviews for The Lighthouse
This one is not an easy go. It is NOT a horror film. It is a psycho-sexual character study. . Dafoe and Pattinson are both amazing. The look of the film is like visual poetry. This is an art film surrounding a spiral of madness.
yes robert pattinson f*cked fish pu$$y at the light house, things happen 🤷♀️
Farts.
In a word - genius. (Not a "horror" flick and not for casual movie-going.)
Phenomenal
One step below tentacle porn - but I appreciate the symbolism
#stunning #disturbing
Very uncomfortable movie. Good acting but poor plot
Honestly one of the greatest cinema experiences I’ve had in a while
It was boring and I didn’t understand it and Robert Pattinson and willem Defoe did a really bad job
its bizarre, but I liked it. it's not a traditional horror film so don't go if that's what you're looking for
Save your money. Save your life. It was awful. Easily in my worst 5 ever.
It was fun at times but it didn't really seem to stick the landing.
The most surprised I’ve been by a movie all year. Absolutely amazing.
Surprisingly good acting....from both actors.
Enjoy the film as an art piece. Then spend the time reviewing all the metaphors!
Dark, haunting, thought provoking and oddly funny. The acting is awe inspiring while the characters challenge the viewer to think deeply on what it all means.
awesome acting, very intense
I understood the movie but it wasn't for me. It was well shoot and the effects were nice but that's all I liked.
Creepy but overall good
Masterpiece
Don’t waste your money or time
I think I loved this movie? I can’t tell right now but this is probably a masterpiece
Good concept but tried a bit too hard to be “artsy”
the funniest, not meant to be funny movie I've ever seen
It was incredibly shot and left me feeling strange. You’ll understand the feeling it gave once you see it. It is in standard definition and black and white through out the entire movie. The story behind it was confusing but they may want you to watch it a few times to get…
Extremely boring - very little story. And no pay off.
One of my all time favorites. So strange and terrifying.
Metacritic
The Lighthouse stands as a monument to two titanic performances. Pattinson’s easy naturalism curdles into something unnerving and evil here, while Dafoe goes full German Expressionist villain with the biggest screen performance since Daniel Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood.
The Lighthouse is a ferocious battle of wills, a tour de force of cold, clammy suspense and a protracted descent into cabin-fever madness. It is also a gorgeous piece of film craft, a chance to savor the visual glories of a bygone era of cinematic artisanship.
