Review of Only Lovers Left Alive (2013) by Mark D — 04 Nov 2014

I really thought this had potential. It looked so different than a typical Vampire movie, and it IS. Just not in any way that I liked. It's major flaw is that it's boring. There is very little story here, with only a smidge of conflict. This is all artsy cool new age vampires with apparently nothing to do.

It's a bummer because Tomm Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton are both great actors. They were even good here, with the flimsy characters they were given.

I imagine some movie snobs would love this for the exact reasons that I didn't. More power to them, but I need a decent story with decent characters, and this was lacking both.
