Reminds me of RP’s reaction to rehearsal for this film. At Cannes he said he’s not into rehearsal, that they spent 3 weeks rehearsing, and said it to the audience. The director, Robert Eggers, corrected him that it was only one week. RP is like, “No way!” with Willem chiming in that it was only one week. Eggers said, “It was 3 weeks for you.” and all three were laughing, but RP had a level of incredulousness in his laughter. It was indeed amusing.

Two more words: "High Life". Rob totally OWNED that movie. And yes, he said how he had chased director Claire Denis for years before finally getting to do something with her.

From Tyler Hawkins, Salvidor Dali, Jacob Jankowski, Eric Packer, Henry Costin, Rey (The Rover), Monte (High Life), and now looking forward to his roles in The King, Waiting For The Barbarians, The Lighthouse, TENET and even The Batman. After you have seen every one of THESE movies, will you be able to truly decide for yourself if, indeed, Robert Pattinson can act. He is one of the most fiercely dedicated actors out there.

Just my observation

[@keplygatbikinibottomsmooth6418]

wtf are you talking about, he made the whole thing and had been preparing for it since before The Witch but you're going to act like the actors that show up to set for the shooting days would have equal investment in it to Eggers? the amount of work Eggers has put in from developing the project to pre production to shooting to post production is astronomically disproportionate to what the actors put in and they themselves would agree with that sentiment.
