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 🤷‍♀️

If you're a big fan of Marvel/Disney/DC movies, don't see this.

Farts.

Phenomenal

In a word - genius. (Not a "horror" flick and not for casual movie-going.)

One step below tentacle porn - but I appreciate the symbolism

Performances were good but if you’ve seen the trailer you’ve seen the best parts. Could’ve been way better if there was a decent plot

The most surprised I’ve been by a movie all year. Absolutely amazing.

Extremely boring - very little story. And no pay off.

Very uncomfortable movie. Good acting but poor plot

While The Lighthouse didn’t hit me as deeply or as sharply as The Witch, the fact that such a strange feature can still be produced with so few concessions to the mainstream, and that it’s coming to theaters, feels like a breath of fresh air — albeit one cut with at least a few Willem Dafoe farts.

The Lighthouse provides a marvellous chamber-drama platform for two actors, Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe, who seize the opportunity with gusto.

The movie delivers its share of shudders, along with fabulous arias of anger, wrath and disgust from both actors as the power dynamic bounces back and forth.
