Forgotten even to the sea

I think Robert Eggers' previous The VVitch (2015) was overrated - I'd have to watch it again to be sure, but if my memory serves me right, it was boring. As we observe couple of lighthouse keepers in a desolate island, The Lighthouse has that, it can be slow-moving and tiresome, it feels pointless at times, but then again it's splendidly wrapped around delirium tremens, insanity, figments of imagination and bona fide chaos. Still leaves a little disappointed aftertaste.

It's awfully easy to lie

A brilliantly contradictory, suggestive, yet still quite gentle film.  A simple love story but seasoned with all the elements of humanity.  ...
