Dafoe's comfortable Big Pipe Energy (BPE) like there wasn't a camera, or actors, in the room was all I needed to see to confirm the salacious rumours.
The final scene with Helen and Orlock felt like watching a moving baroque still life photograph - a great way to showcase the impact of considered, intentional pace.
It also felt like Eggers was exposing my last 10 years of dating so I felt a little called out.
