If it’s sad, weird, or aesthetically pleasing, I’m interested.

    The Lost Daughter

    ★★★★

    I just finished it and wow… very uncomfortable and real in a weird way. Had watched it at first because of Paul but i am happy where i ended. The way motherhood was explored and portrayed is very rare. No glorification, no romanticism; just plain human. I really really disliked the mother but that was okay, because she needed to be disliked. She was not perfect and didn’t want to be. (Good soundtrack; Stala is on repeat)

    Enjoyed this almost as much as Eggers’ Nosferatu. Even though it is nearly impossible to compare the two, it was a lot of fun. The cinematography here is beautiful, and the scenes were amazingly well thought out. The plague scene and the peak moment between Nosferatu and Lucy were equally brilliant.

    That said, there were moments where I preferred Eggers’ rendition. I liked the polished, fully immersive feel of his dreamy, haunting, and distant world—something I sometimes missed in Herzog’s…

    People love david lynch too much or they would see that this is not top-notch cinema. Yes it’s absurd, yes it’s Lynchism, but is it a five stars? No, the answer is no. If an underground film student would release this, everyone would hate it.
