Anton Bitel Little White Lies a rich and strange sea yarn in monochrome that overflows with Beckettian absurdity, as these men, perhaps both liars (literal gaslighters), look, while waiting for ‘relief’, into the abyss of both their elemental isolation & their infernal companionship. Jun 19, 2023 Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au The Lighthouse may be challenging, it may even be off-putting, but it's gutsy, accomplished and the kind of movie that sears into your memory. Rated: 4/5 Feb 28, 2020 Full Review David Stratton The Australian The atmosphere is ugly, claustrophobic, hermetic, the images murky and relentless. There seems no doubt Eggers is an original and talented filmmaker, but he hasn't made it easy on the audience with this grim, forbidding movie. Rated: 3/5 Feb 11, 2020 Full Review David Griffiths Subculture Entertainment Brilliant acting but unless you enjoy alternative cinema this is not a film that you are going to enjoy. It is a slow slog. Rated: 2/5 Oct 29, 2024 Full Review Calum Cooper Source (Scotland) As the film unfolded, I felt like I was slowly going insane alongside the characters. My anxiety and confusion galvanised into the most immersive of experiences. Rated: 5/5 Jul 14, 2024 Full Review Brittany Patrice Witherspoon Pop Culture Reviews Shot on black and white 35mm film, Eggers’ feature never loses its mysterious yet vibrant atmosphere.

K Truly a masterclass in comedy and period-piece filmmaking. 5 stars, 10/10, push this movie onto everyone you know. Immediately. if you dislike this movie, it's not the film, it's you. Cheers my friends. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/29/24 Full Review Ben W Really great! Incredible performances by Willem and Robert. Artistically and visually very appealing and interesting. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/29/24 Full Review Matthew Two crazy guys stuck together on an island with a Lighthouse. All I can say is Robert Pattinson and William Defoe both got snubbed out of Oscar nominations. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/25/21 Full Review Audience Member This movie is Masterpiece that, In a fair world, would win virtually every applicable Oscar. Visually Stunning, amazing performances, and on point in virtually every way. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/14/23 Full Review Tori One of the most gorgeously shot films in recent memory. Cannot more highly recommend for fans of cinema which is in itself a master class in scene composition. A second viewing was necessary in order to really evaluate the acting - which was superb. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/15/19 Full Review Audience Member The Lighthouse is an atmospherically brilliant puzzle of a film - with stunning black and white cinematography, haunting visuals, and a foreboding score. Taking many cues from The Shining, it's successful as a chilling (even terrifying) exercise in semi-horror (with enough humor to balance out the darkness), even if not all of its provocative symbols and events fall into place. You may leave the theater scratching your head, but you will be satisfied by what you saw. The film will stick with you after - as you try to unpack its strangeness. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/02/24 Full Review Read all reviews
