Robert Eggers’s gripping nightmare The Lighthouse is the best thing in #Cannes2019 with sledgehammer performances from Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson, like Steptoe and Son in hell #Cannes72 #Cannes— Peter Bradshaw (@PeterBradshaw1) May 19, 2019
Avast! The Lighthouse has left me woozy with shaking sea legs. A swirling descent into madness, with two mezmirizing performances from Pattinson and Dafoe. By far the best film to screen at Cannes so far.— Joseph D A Walsh (@JosephDAWalsh) May 19, 2019
2. THE LIGHTHOUSE is incredible. More than a worthy follow up to The Witch. Atmospheric, amazing dialogue and so much fun. Pattinson gives a Nicholson in The Shining level horror performance. Defoe is as great as ever. Wow. #Cannes2019— Conal Logan (@clogan38) May 19, 2019
The Lighthouse - Two men on a rock in the ocean slowly go mad. Absolutely phenomenal, visceral, intense, hilarious filmmaking. Every shot is masterful. Score is astounding. Willem Dafoe & Robert Pattinson are incredible, plumbing the depths of insanity. Perfection. #Cannes2019— Alex Billington @ Cannes (@firstshowing) May 19, 2019
