Lily-Rose Depp, I doubted you and I am sorry for that. Favorite performance of 2024.
Robert Eggers does what he always does and delivers an atmospheric, gothic spectacle. While I do think The Lighthouse is still his greatest work, I want to see Eggers take on more adaptations.
Some of it doesn't work, some cheap jump scares and choppy editing at times, but when you got Willem Dafoe delivering a pitch perfect title drop, it's more fun to look at beautiful snowy shots of carriages and dimly candle lit castle corridors than to worry about anything else.
