Did you all give high ratings to make a point? Half way through the movie I could not keep my eyes open. Seriously... 8.7 / 10 in IMDB. Crazy!
Am I the only one that thinks this movie f'ing sucks balls. Didn't like this at all
I don't get where everybody likes this movie. dumbest movie ever watched
I do not usually write reviews, as I generally find ratings etc. on Trakt to be somewhat accurate. However, I found this movie to just be insanely overrated. The movie tries way too hard to be grand and funny, but is neither.
I absolutely loved "The Witch" and was excited to see what director Eggers could do with two great actors and his great attention to detail and obvious talent.
Well, turns out - not much.
"The lighthouse" has fantastic cinematography, set decorations, costumes, and Dafoe and Pattinson are really digging into the material with gusto. The problem is that there's no discernible plot, nothing that happens on screen is particularly interesting, and it builds up to nothing.
Probably the most disappointing movie of the year for me. I hope for his next movie, Eggers pays as much attention to the plot and story as he does to veracity of the setting and the characters.
So good and fluid. What amazed me the more was that it's a very old movie, just one place where happens the action, but doesn't bores at all. It's very well made, and I think it's so hard to make something like that and that good. So in my opinion, old but gold.
I would give a much higher rating, if the ending was better. Contrary to many comments here, I do not think the movie is about capitalism. I think it is much more about socialism. And it definitely is about human greed and shitty movie endings.
How does this movie have high rating. It’s boring as shit. 48 mins into movie for something interesting than 2 mins of something interesting. After that back to boring shit.
I watched this Movie because of the Director and Author Pier Paolo Pasolini... it was his last movie.
I expected a movie about fashism in society.
But this movie is the most perverse thing I've ever seen!
I was hoping for an explanatory statement at the end of the film. But, for me, there was none.
Once and never again!!!
This movie is random. And that's not a positive. There is no thought behind the multiverse aspect and there is no consistency behind how it works. They just do whatever. The jokes in this are so infantile that I had to check if this was really written by adults. Breaks the overall more serious tone of the movie and is mostly out of place. The main couple was good, but the daughter was horrible. She and some other supporting actors felt really fake. The trailer was promising, the movie was one big letdown. The original idea was probably good, but they should have worked on it more before making this movie.
Naaah wtf i just watch? Buttplugs dildos?? I didn’t like it
What a waste of time... overhyped movie...
Too silly for my enjoyment. Tried to send a message, but apparently pressed the wrong button.
Probably the most overrated movie of 2022.
My, my, my, my, my. What a boring, annoying mess with the loooooongest ending in movie history.
Honestly It was a long boring movie for me. It's the combination of Multiverse, Matrix and alittle bit of Inception, but with Chinese casts. I was just surprised by the high IMDb ranking. Maybe I'm stupid that didn't enjoyed the movie, or people really have a bad taste in movies these days.
I watched this movie because many people recommended it, but from the beginning I'm just not into this movie, and finally stopped watching halfway. i can only give a rating of 2. such a lousy movie and yet so many people like it. I'm really surprised. the rating is divided into two categories, most people rate it 10, and the others rate it 1.
I hit recommend button tryi figureout what the lightning bolt was for. I would not recommend. This was one of the worst movies, a colossal waste of time.
It has its sweet moments but I've read "best thing I saw in the past decade", "best movie I've ever seen" and things like that and this is definitely not the case.
Moreover, I've watched things that I immediately considered masterpieces and yet I would never write something like the aforementioned - which makes me think that most of those shiny reviews were coming from overexcitable viewers.
At times too frenetic, at times too lost in its own weirdness and quirkyness. It plays out a bombing of emotions like other movies place explosions or Ryan Reynolds places wits, one every 3 seconds and I feel it's like the new target for the average 5-sec-attention-span-casual-viewer.
Like a kid in front of fireworks, eyes wide open in front of a videogame-styled movie, that viewer gets hyperstymulated and thinks he/she has never seen anything like that.
Swiss Army Man had the same basic weirdness, it was as deep as this one and yet it had no "Best. Movie. Ever." reviews. Why? No multiverse, no videogame-ish feel, no word of mouth hype that makes you feel so so cool and intellectual for liking this.
What the fuck did I just watch. I fell for the high rating movie trap, god damn it! The constant switching between Chinese & English was annoying as fuck. Pick a fucking language and stick with it. It’s not art when you switch language mid sentence, it’s called annoying your audience.
Pointless waste of time movie. If you don’t have anything to do for 2 hours, watch this movie.
caricaturesque multiverse matrix parody, made to cook your brain to mush
Complete piece of crap movie. The result of Hollywood running out of stories. Never seen a movie this bad. Even a 3/10 schoolmade blackmarket, no budget horror movie is more enjoyable.
Everyone giving this a high rating is either trying to be interesting “Oh look at me getting it!” or on a hero dose of acid.
This movie actually makes me not wanting to see any other movies just out of fear somebody tries to top this.
Seeing my favourite team losing a final is less painful.
Having said all that, I still feel I didn’t really make my point clear enough. The effort will never match the experience.
Far too long, completely overdone. By the end, you are just wishing it will be over.
I seriously do not understand all the high ratings. People are way too easily entertained. I mean, c’mon, there is no way a ballistic shield is going to act like a boomerang in ANY universe. If you’re going to do that, at least make it canonically plausible and flashy instead of using the worst CGI known to man to pull it off and giving absolutely zero explanation. Also, what’s with the super weird lesbian side plot they’ve got going on? Nothing against lesbians at all, but it feels like something an intern suggested that the writers just sorta went along with so they didn’t hurt his feelings. It’s poorly executed and just doesn’t fit with everything else they’ve got going on.
I’ve never been as disappointed in a movie as I am in EEAAO. This is a rare case of a movie with no redeeming qualities. None. Please don’t waste your time on this filth.
Couldn’t get past the first 15 minutes. Why does it have these high ratings?
This movie is over rated, much boring, from starting to the ending
A really good movie. Matthew McConaughey is supported well by a good cast.
The morals of the story apply to this day...;
Newton Knight: What a man grows with his own two hands ought to belong to him, yeah? How does the scripture go, Jasper?
Jasper Collins: It says from the Book of Galatians, “Be not deceived. God is not mocked. For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
Newton Knight: What you sow you should reap. What you put in the ground you should take out of the ground. Now they say they’re taking ten percent.
Corn Field Worker: No, they leave us ten percent, sir.
Newton Knight: Leave ten percent. Do you think they’re taking ten percent from that plantation owner over in Natchez? Huh? Do you think they’re taking ten percent from him?
[the crowd replies no]
The Sisters Brothers is like a French barbecue: it tries to be authentic but gets lost in all the style.
Classic Westerns are classic because they are simple stories based on basic archetypes: good, evil, love, hate, greed, revenge... They are, essentially, retellings of Greek myths in cowboy days. And it's still possible to tap into this story-driven ethos as illustrated by films like Young Guns, Hell or High Water, or my personal favourite, Bone Tomahawk.
But there's another school of filmmaking bent on making sweeping, character-driven epics that typically end up as little more than rambling tales of which one can make neither head nor tails. Which is fine for the character but bad for the horse he's driving, because the horse usually winds up lost.
The Sisters Brothers is a beautiful film (with special mention to the wonderful score by Alexandre Desplat (The Tree of Life, The Shape of Water, Isle of Dogs...)) containing wonderful vistas and better than average performances, but the story line that insists on running out for two full hours stretches itself thin.
Slathering barbecue sauce on duck à l'orange doesn't make it Tex-Mex.
Waste of good actors for a french western.
My Review of ‘The Lighthouse’ in 3 Sentences:
I feel like I just watched a two-hour bar fight.
Even great cinematography can’t save a movie.
The farting was absolutely unnecessary.
