Review of The Lighthouse (2019) by Puntman — 09 Jan 2020

Brilliant cinematography and set design. Authentic and period-immersive performances. But I left feeling empty and a little meh towards the characters. I do enjoy arthouse films, but perhaps this movie was too much for me to understand.

It seemed that once everything was established, the characters only finished the dark path they each had started on, and any further expansion of the story stopped. I still recommend this film. It will probably become a cult classic and I will eventually re-watch and hopefully come to a better understand of the film.
