The Lighthouse 2019

★★★★★

Watched 02 Nov 2019

This is far and away the best film I’ve seen all year; it surpassed my high expectations and went even beyond those. It’s a complete 2-hour descent into pure madness and I was with it every second of the way. Pattinson is incredible but Dafoe’s performance is on a whole other god-tier level that no one else can reach. Eggers’ direction is masterful and the presentation just completely sucked me in from the first frame. Just.... gah, so fucking amazing. This was easily my most anticipated film of the second half of the year and it just triumphed all of my expectations. I haven’t been this ecstatic for a film in so long, and I hope to thoroughly soak it all in with all of the many rewatches to come.
