Lily Rose Depp saves her career after Idol. This is stunning work from her.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Right? It's so challenging physically and emotionally.

[@aaronsanders9328]

Idol made her career what you talking about lol

[@PondOfGlue]

Never clicked on anything so fast in my life. I’ve been looking forward to this for over five years 😭🖤

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Hope you love it!

[@sleepyazathoth5238]

Nosferatu (1922) is my favorite movie of all time, it's the film that made me fall in love with cinema and the genre. The fact that a director of the caliber of Robert Eggers is remaking it (probably the best new voice in the genre), for me is incredible, I couldn't ask for a better auteur. This is my cinematic event of the year, can't wait. Thanks for the review.

[@timcardona9962]

I love you guys but I’m gonna hold off on watching this until after I’ve seen it. This is my most anticipated movie of the year, in fact the *only* movie I’ve looked forward to and I don’t want anything to dampen my excitement. “Dripping with atmosphere” from your out of theatre review was all that I needed!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Great, let us know how it goes!

[@RichardHannay]

The reviews I’ve watched for Egger’s Nosferatu seems to be all over the place. Some are calling it a masterpiece, others are calling it boring. 😆

[@NoSweat69]

@@RichardHannay but nobody’s saying it’s bad and unwatchable, which gives me hope, Eggers hasn’t missed yet

[@AmandaFromWisconsin]

Like, 95 percent of the reviews I’ve seen are calling it a masterpiece.

[@ulfingvar1]

That means it's personal and unusual.. probably great!

[@BluePrada]

No one has called it a masterpiece but people ARE saying it has good elements

[@ulfingvar1]

@@BluePrada The word masterpiece has been mentioned several times.

[@OldBluesChapterandVerse]

The review from Matt Zoller Seitz over at Christy’s old haunt is one of the best movie reviews I’ve read in years. For those of you here in the comments who’ve yet to read it, seek it out.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

He is always great!

[@EzeICE]

It's a slowburn, but still quite dazzling and visually stunning.

[@BEASTxMODE]

Eggers' films are so immersive! He's 3 for 3 and hasn't missed yet I'll be sure to watch this twice‼

[@BluePrada]

You haven’t even watched it 😭 d rider just like Nolan fans

[@BEASTxMODE]

@ Well, that’s like your opinion man 😎

[@jasoncarrick5461]

Interesting comments from you two on this, afa Eggers goes I thought The Lighthouse was by far his best and it set his bar high. The cast worries me, except for Dafoe they all seem to be second or even third choices. Looking forward to seeing this though.

[@bourdieufan7433]

great review can’t wait to see it

[@thehobbsguy]

Shadow of a Vampire is not talked about enough, its so great.

[@musicmann1967]

This is the kind of review I dreaded most because all the criticisms that Christy and Alonso have are what I was afraid of, in anticipation of this film. I was hoping Eggers WOULDN'T be to reverential, and as Alonso put it, "under glass". But you can be damn sure I've got my ticket reservation for opening (Christmas) day!! lol I'm hoping for the best anyway!

[@MichaelMoorePDX]

I can't wait. The first time I saw Murnau's Nosferatu, I didn't get it. I was 13, and I had seen Dracula, and i thought Murnau's version was just weird and off-putting. The second time, about a year later, I loved it, recognized it for the masterpiece it is. And I was much better able to see Orlok in a sympathetic light. I wonder what a repeat viewing of this version will do to your opinions.

[@blackkcinamacritic]

The re-make is one of my favs. So im so excited to see this one

[@samtan4729]

So note to producers and directors, be wary of IPs and overly familiar mythologies. There's only so much juice you could squeeze out of it, in spite of newer technology, great design and acting, bigger budget etc. The same fate happened to Alien Romulus. You get more mileage, and respect, by telling new stories, not rehashing old ones.

[@ghostwolf1435]

It does look from the Trailers Visually Striking 🎉🎉

[@brianng8350]

The reactions and reviews seem pretty consistent, sadly. Technically good, but the main story fails. I’ll go back to The Last Voyage Of The Demeter, which was an underrated movie.

[@thedashboard9562]

I hate that I have to wait until Christmas for this. It's one of my most anticipated films of the year.

[@BluePrada]

It’s only 3 weeks girl 😭

[@theholidayshow1026]

The funny thing is, I haven't heard anybody else say this, but you guys. So I am not concerned at all. Everything I have heard is that is a masterpiece

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Wouldn't life be boring if we all agreed with each other 100%? Hope you enjoy the film.

[@devonellesse]

They are not real critcs. They are more like entertainers who watch popular movies

[@mandem3426]

@@devonellesselol Christy works as a film critic for the Roger Ebert website and Alonzo has worked for multiple publications. They’re both pretty well established film Critics. If you have a different opinion about the movie than them, just articulate that. There’s no need for weird ad hominem attacks

[@devonellesse]

@@mandem3426 ad veritas: she is a fulltime mom now. And He is a fulltime Hallmark movie watcher. They entertain me. Nothing wrong with that.

[@mandem3426]

@@devonellesse lol that’s literally not the truth. I think you may just be a bit strange but tell yourself whatever you need to

Christy's Christmas tree is back!

[@abhiezibran9654]

im sorry. im too biased with this director. i would believe only when my eyes see it.

[@edwardrichardson8254]

Exactly as it sounds. Eggers got $50m and so you get $50m in visuals and costumes.

[@theebonymaw]

i agree with Alonzo in that sometimes a pairing of story and director can be very obvious - in ways that are postive and negative. i have had reservations because of that, but planning to check this out myself regardless.

[@aaronsanders9328]

? Just watch the movie man you won’t die instantly if it’s bad lol

[@Rainbowxpride89]

Never saw the original, but I've heard of it.

[@Philbert-s2c]

It's for free on KZbin and so is the 1979 German remake.

[@TheVid54]

It's going to be awfully difficult to improve upon Herzog-Kinski, let alone Murnau, and so far Eggers is overrated in my opinion.

[@masterofallgoons]

It's a lower tier Herzog/Kinski film.

[@commandZee]

I'll probably still catch it, but now I'm skeptical after your 7.05 collective score and, "Blah ba blah." 🤣

[@WalksBehindTheRows]

His films make me so tired Lol. I can appreciate a slow burn as much as most, but I have issues with his pacing. It’s like watching a rough cut.

[@americanpancakelive]

Ok, I am pretty sure that if Bill Skarsgård is in a movie, there is a good chance it is not going to be all that great. Now saying he is a bad actor or anything but you have to admit that a lot of the movies he is in only excels at around 79 percent but that is it.

[@masterofallgoons]

That's a bizarre take.

[@LoyaltotheNightsky]

​@@masterofallgoonsI don't think so. He's a good actor, but he doesn't always pick the best movies. Personally, very excited for this though.

[@masterofallgoons]

@@LoyaltotheNightsky - it is weird to suggest that despite being a good actor everything he will be in in the future will be bad. It really doesn't make sense. Especially in this case, considering pedigree.

[@CosmeFlorentino-t4z]

Discordo pois a referência e uma parte importante da história se não tivesse as reverências o filme não se chamaria nosferatu vcs estão achando defeito aonde não tem

[@Kennethjames.]

Not a shocker

[@masterofallgoons]

Interesting. These two are firmly in the minority here.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Clearly we loved a lot about it! Hope you enjoy.

[@masterofallgoons]

@BreakfastAllDay - Hope so too!

[@WilliamThomasjr]

Wow you guys seem to be outliers

[@BreakfastAllDay]

We're OK with that! Thanks for watching.

[@WilliamThomasjr]

@ me too! Love that you guys always give honest opinions. It’s why I’ve watched for so many years.

[@blackforest825]

Eggers has amazing style. But he almost always have script and pacing issues, so 'm not holding my breath.

[@taya12020]

I'm not a fan of Eggers and after listening to you guys and Fish Jelly I doubt I'll change on that. I'll check it out when it streams.

[@nederlanditism1154]

When you use Dafoe for playing the umpteenth time a Dafoe part your casting is poor. Never before has a 7 out of 10 felt so much like a 4,5 carried away by sympathy and goodwill. As the praise goes in the direction of skillful film-making (but only on technical level if I got that right), we know what we fear. But we won't see it. We extrapolated on the basis of especially films two and three, and can't see what should bring us to this sitting.

[@NoSweat69]

What?

[@masterofallgoons]

​@@NoSweat69- beat me to it

[@nederlanditism1154]

@@NoSweat69 You cannot bring yourselves to think this through? A hint: The Witch (great). The Lighthouse (outlandish and eventually numbing), The Northman (excruciating), Nosferatu is the fourth.

In the next couple of weeks.

So it's like a modern Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)? The trailers gave me those kinds of vibes.
