Review of Only Lovers Left Alive (2013) by Benji B — 18 Aug 2014

Wow... I'm kind of surprised that this has such high marks... I love or at least like everyone involved. I'm all for giving a sad/artistic nod to Detroit and underground music. I like sad or subdued stories.

God this bored the hell out of me. There just was not enough of the characters to get you really invested in them or their presented situations. The nicest thing I can say about the movie is that I really liked Tilda Swinton generally.

I give it two stars for her and for some of the visual aesthetics, but overall... really just could not find a moment to invest any emotion in.
