Visually, it's absolutely stunning.
How I wish the same attention to detail had been given to the script and character development.
I had high hopes, but ultimately left the theater disappointed that 132 minutes weren't enough for me to feel invested in any of the characters. 1 month 2 weeks ago -

I don't really know that Robert Eggers' Nosferatu beats Werner Herzog's for me, but its strong image-making and psycho-sexual underpinnings - with the Mina stand-in, Ellen, blaming herself for a tryst with the monster - are highlights of this version. The low light, literally, is that it's shot with that low-contrast look that's too dingy for these old eyes, but is at least consistent with the mood of the film. We're watching through fog both real and of the mind. I also don't love the look of the vampire. But going for it in terms of adaptation is that it doesn't try to amalgamate Dracula into its text the way Herzog's did, and is more properly updating Murnau's classic. But enough with the comparisons. What we have here is a more straightforward Eggers film than most, with a very literate script (lines from Hamlet seem to be leaking in from The Northman) and some beautiful horror photography. Solid performances from everyone, but Willem Dafoe is particularly, and unsurprising, great. 1 month 3 weeks ago
