    i could talk for hours about how insufferable and obnoxious both of these leads are but i think thats the point

    glad every drawback i have about relationships is justified in this. shoutout samir though, the only likeable character in this

    ★★★★

    It turns out food and music are the two biggest factors of finding love in life, I stood up and applauded when they played dreams by the cranberries 

    Of course the most dramatic person in this has his phone password as undying love, get a grip mate she doesn’t want you

    As someone who had to watch the 1922 original and read Dracula for uni coursework, this is coming from a place of love, not hate. 

    What I liked was I think willem dafoe again is leagues above everyone else in this film. The cinematography was absolutely phenom I say this as someone who religiously loves Robert eggers, the score was fantastic and I loved loved loved the depiction and design of Orloks castle, I think the strength of this movie…
