Eggers is a POWERHOUSE filmmaker. The VVitch and The Lighthouse are bonafide masterworks. This man deserves all the praise and accolades along with it. On another note, the interviewer missed a huge opportunity when asking Eggers about his upcoming projects. When Eggers hesitated he should have shouted "Spill yer Beans!!"

There needs to be a documentary about this movies production

The musical score in this film was amazing

The acting in this movie was phenomenal. I went into it expecting it to devolve into the Willem Dafoe show, but Robert Pattinson was just as commanding a presence on screen as Willem Dafoe was and gave an absolutely superb performance. I was pleasantly surprised as I am not all that familiar with Robert Pattinson’s work outside of the Twilight series. This movie and Parasite are neck and neck for me for best movie of 2019.

What a masterpiece! The Oscar buzz is definitely warranted. Rob and Willem deserve Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor nominations...as does Eggers for Best Director! Hope they all team up on another project in the future. They're pure dynamite as a team!

Since I saw "Remember me" l kinda knew that Pattinson is much more than just "...Edward from Twilight and bla-bla-bla..." And now "The Lighthouse" came and I'am speechless how strong and beautiful this movie is. To me literally it's just pure poetry, pure art. I feel so dreamy. I feel spellbound. So beautifully weird. It's like coming up for fresh air.

People heap all the praise on Dafoe, and while rightly deserved, Pattinson put on every bit as elevated a performance. Proud to say I'm a fan of his work now. He's come a long way since Goblet of Fire.

My LOVE for the marriage of period drama, psychological thriller and mythical horror in Eggers' films is HUGE.

Legends complimenting legends. Egger complimenting Pattison's acting, just wow.

I want to hangout with Rob Pat along with my friends.. seems like a friendly bloke.

I am in to watch whatever these two make. Better together again, of course :-)))) Great interview, thanks a lot!

Cinematic art, beautiful script, amazing actors and beautifully stunning! Reminds me of the beautiful black and white movies from the 20’s-40’s with that Hitchcockian or even E. A. Poe-esque story with all those amazing layers upon layers of story that you have to watch it again and again because once isn’t enough to take it all in. So beautiful and I absolutely loved this film. Pure perfect artistry!

Robert Pattinson was smart to play in a bunch of indie films to reinvent himself from his Twilight days. Now he definitely proved himself to be a really good actor. glad he didn't end up like Taylor Lautner.

Ive already watch it 3 times and even though i never gave robert the credit as an actor before this movie.. i can tell i couldnt think of anyone else performing this masterpiece as he did, next to willem they were the perfect cast. My favorite scenes of the movie were in fact where winslow screams after the masturbation and in the end when he reaches the light.

Sorry, Mr. Eggers, but it never is merely just about two men going crazy in a lighthouse, there is the director's subconscious if not conscious decisions, you took us into a Jungian world.

"he can eat you.... and throw you up in your own face".... **cricket chirp** lol.... i love this guy.

He did some great acting in this movie it was such a unique film I enjoy new formats I think it was done well all the way around

Great questions. Well done

great duo

I'm glad they didn't went very deep on the question what the film is all about, because imo there is a lot of symbolism shown not only in the arguably real and sane scenes but also in the very obviously hallucinated parts of the film. Not only is it a choice of the filmmaker to confuse the viewer with the ongoing insanity of the wickies, I think the film also lays enough clues for the viewer to figure out what happened himself, or at least come up with some theories.

Just realized they’re both named Robert. And the main characters were both named Thomas. Spoopy

I can't hear that horn sound again. My head may explode

Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe both are great candidates for the the Joker.

My primary reaction, to the first time watching it, was it wasn't a horror movie, and I found myself chuckling at times. But it had a psychological horror movie intensity. And some memorable disturbing scene images. The biggest one when he is lying on the beach naked being eaten alive by Seagulls.

That jawline tho...

Why was it filmed this way? Did he mention anything about that?

We could all agree Pattinson has redeemed himself more then enough after Twilight. He did this gem, Goodtime, Tenet, Devil all the Time and much more. Plus The Batman, which will probably be pretty good.
