“Bad luck to kill a seabird.”
There is a lot to unpack in Robert Eggers’ latest feature, The Lighthouse, so it only made sense to have this review be more of a conversational piece. After you view the film, it will most likely make sense how we arrived at this decision. It is one of those movies that immediately upon exiting the theater there is an urge to discuss every frame that was seen, every sound bite that was heard and all the feels that were experience. Sit back, relax and join Moviejawn’s Old Sport and Best Boy on the high seas to discuss this hypnotic tale of adventure about two lighthouse keepers.

As a meditative poem on humanity's desire for the existential, Peedom's film of Robert Macfarlane's verdant prose read by Willem Dafoe's wise, gravelly intonation (a voice he's had since he was in his late twenties, as anyone who is familiar with his filmography knows) invokes the wonder of our tininess, our arrogance, and our fragility in the face of these monuments to the giant wheel of time.
