This is WILD.
Somewhat similar to Snowpiercer in the way it integrates underlying social commentary, but goddamn it is so brutal. Lots of filthy gory imagery and I love it.
Not 100% sold on the ambiguity of the ending but the journey to get there is so sick! Spain really coming through on the quality quarantine content here 👌🏼
Let’s be real, this is not the same level of film as Lock, Stock or Snatch. BUT it is cool to see Guy Ritchie going back to his roots and there is a lot to like here, most memorably of course is the so very abrasively British dialogue and humour.
It doesn’t have a huge amount going on underneath that surface though, the characters (for the most part) don’t really get that much in the way of development. There are…
Lovecraftian mythos, a salty old sea dog and Hitchcock’s The Birds all had a beautiful, filthy baby together and it’s called The Lighthouse.
I feel like I’ve been watching far too many good movies lately and that at some point I’m gonna get disappointed by one of them, but today is not that day friends! Wowee this film is something else. It’s shot so goddamn beautifully, Dafoe and Pattinson are fucking next level, and Robert Eggers helms it all masterfully…
