Directed by David Michôd; key cast includes Ben Mendelsohn, Robert Pattinson, Joel Edgerton and Lily Rose Depp.
Wow!
Hello, brilliant cast. I cannot wait for all the super acting and all the tensions that stem from being surrounded by people who underestimate you.
Sean Harris, Dean-Charles Chapman, Thomasin McKenzie, Ivan Kaye, Tom Glynn-Carney and Edward Ashley also star.
The Lighthouse which stars Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe tells the story of two lighthouse keepers on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s.
A drama/fantasy and horror film, The Lighthouse is directed by Robert Eggers and also stars Valeriia Karaman.
This intriguing trailer has my attention because of how peculiar it appears to be. The peculiarity in this case equals to humour for me, even though comedy is not the film’s official classification.
As a fan of Dafoe especially, I’m interested in the Pattinson/Dafoe on-screen chemistry. I’m not sure they’ve been in a movie together before, but I’m definitely looking forward to this – including the fun accent work and dialogue.
Water For Elephants (2019), Reece Witherspoon, Robert Pattinson
Directed by Francis Lawrence; starring Reese Witherspoon, Robert Pattinson, and Christoph Waltz, Water for Elephants is a drama/romance about a young man who takes a job in a travelling circus and ends up falling in love with the ringmaster’s wife.
My reasons for watching this one are that I’m a fan of Witherspoon, elephants are majestic and just a few days ago, I happened to be in the mood for a film that wouldn’t prove too emotionally taxing. I’ve also recently watched and loved The Greatest Showman (2017). I therefore needed to find out whether I could appreciate another circus movie nearly as much.
I’ll waste no time in confirming that The Greatest Showman (2017) remains my favourite circus movie. Reason being, even though Water for Elephants proved a not especially taxing viewing experience, by the end of the film, I couldn’t say I loved it. It was just OK. The acting wasn’t bad, but I may have enjoyed the film that little bit more had the central love story been stronger and more enthralling. It may also be that I’ve just seen this old-fashioned style of storytelling several times before, and this particular version simply wasn’t the best.
I’ll likely remember Water for Elephants for the visuals of Witherspoon’s character, with the beautiful white horse, and also for bringing to mind the value of the kindness of strangers. Especially because none of us can really survive without it.
Watch Water For Elephants if you’re curious enough, and or when the right mood strikes.
Robert Pattinson, Mia Wasikowska and Robert Forster are the stars of Damsel, the story of a businessman who travels West to join his fiancée in the mountains.
Unpredictably, their once-simple journey grows treacherous
David Zellner and Nathan Zellner direct and also co-star.
It’s simple, really. I’m in for the kooky/off-kilter humour. I’ll probably also be hoping that there’s no trace of Britishness in Pattinson’s accent. But mostly, I just want to be amused in unexpected ways.
