I finally caught The Lighthouse recently on Amazon Prime and despite my admiration for director Robert Eggers, my trust in Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe, and my own self-caution to let go of any preconceived expectations, the film was still nothing that I could have ever been prepared for.
With all due respect to it, there are few words I could conjure to properly describe it other than simply “weird,” which is not a word I like to use very often to describe a film, especially in relation to genres like sci-fi, horror, and fantasy because weird is kind of what they are going for, but there are some that really make an effort to earn that critique.
