10 / 10
Translated from swedish: Just as the icing on the cake, both Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson deliver their career-best performances, and their interaction never rings false. This makes "The Lighthouse" an almost flawless cinematic experience and undoubtedly one of the best of the year.

8.3 / 10
Translated from swedish: Eggers conveys the madness and irritation between the men in a subtle and credible way, without special effects and creative editing/filming, very close to a dogma film.

8.3 / 10
Translated from swedish: A delirious lighthouse keeper's tale with monstrous mermaids and something that may be a sex chamber - for intimate intercourse with a slimy tentacle creature. Robert Eggers' new film is completely insane - in the best way.

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: Madness lurks in "The Lighthouse"

-
8 / 10
Translated from swedish: Willem Dafoe's exceptional mimicry reaches Klaus Kinski-esque levels with his boundless, uncompromising performance. Not even being buried alive, with his mouth full of sand, can stop him from fully embodying the role of the old sea dog.
- Björn WernerSwedish: gp.se »
-
6 / 10
Translated from swedish: There is a lot of style but little substance, and the average viewer is likely to perceive "The Lighthouse" as hopelessly dull.

1. Cinetaste
Translated from swedish: Robert Pattinson gives his best performance of his entire career, and Willem Dafoe delivers an equally impressive performance. This film is rightfully considered a true horror film, as few movies have succeeded in getting under my skin the way this one did. I can still hear the sound of the ship's horn in the distance.
