Quickie: Parasite, The Lighthouse  

“This is my favorite film of the year and it’s nothing short of a masterpiece. “And I’m giving this one a 6/10.”

We did it boys a 10/10 and 9/10 in the same review. Refreshing

Imagine being the director of The Lighthouse listening to this review

"Anyway, you should probably just go watch it as soon as you Cannes*."

Willem Dafoe as Semen

Eggers refuses to make a film in which characters speak standard English. I love it .

9/10? 10/10? who are you and where's Adum??

The Lighthouse is about Green Goblin enlisting the help of Batman to catch Spider-man, thus 10/10

the lighthouse was thrilling. ive never been so on edge over dialogue like this before. amazing script, unforgettable visuals, and willem perfect.

Finally! The review we have been waiting for.

Favorite part of lighthouse vvv Robert Pattinson: Alright have it your way. I like your cooking.

Just got back from watching The Lighthouse. An absolutely astounding movie. I never looked away unless I was laughing too hard. Suspenseful, absurd, fun, maddening, an absolute treasure.

Wow last time I remembered Adam giving a 10/10 was Birdman back in 2014. Glad I lived long enough to see it happen again :)

I'm from the future, and Parasite made justice at the Oscars. Best OG Screenplay, Best Director, Best Internation film and BEST PICTURE! PARASITE WAS WORTH IT.

You know a movie’s promising when YMS gives it a 10

Too bad Willem Dafoe will lose the Oscar to Taron Egerton for Rocketman, cuz let’s face it: it’s a biopic music film. And the oscars love that even though Dafoe is owed one

Someone told me about The Lighthouse but I forgot about it; glad to hear it's even better than The Witch, because I loved The Witch.

The Witch didn't have jumpscares, it's original and it made too much sense so 0/10, give me more horror movie reboots and Conjuring sequels.

The Lighthouse flushed my brain right out of my ears. Loved it.

The Lighthouse is one of my new favorites. Its super well made and its genuinely unsettling at times.

Usually foreign movies in Russia has poorly translated subtitles But in case with "Parasite" i was so surpised by it's quality and overall i agree with your statement that this movie can be showed to anyone like all-time classic "Oldboy" (2003) Thanks for recomending this movie on Sardonicast!

Who's here after Parasite won Best Picture?

Lighthouse is brilliant, I'm happy that you liked it so much

I'm so happy to see horror films being taken seriously by more and more people these past few years! It's such an incredibly diverse genre!

I've seen today "The Lighthouse" which I wanted to see "Parasite" so I decided to see this movie instead and I have to say....it was amazing. Such a creepy psychological insane film about two seaman been working at the lighthouse for days until one of them felt their diabolical problems and they hallucinated their overdose minds. I can describe how this movie can really meant; however, this is by far the best gorgeous looking black and white which was shot in square shot ratio, two performances were excellent including Dafoe have given his outstanding performance as a stereotypical sea captain (probably having him an Oscar), the editing is great, cinematography was nicely shot, great sound, fantastic music, and such a symbolic weird movie which I wanted to know what's going with these two including the ending can explained about how they manage of their mentally cases whether it felt weird or what? It's very comfortable movie for the most part and if anything, I want to watch again its beyond an amazing movie that I wanted to know more. Thanks Adam and of course IHE, Ralph, and Karsten have given two big thumbs up and I would rate it 5 over 5 so I would say an amazing original weird movie. Drink up me laddies.

Anyone else here after The Lighthouse's trailer released?

Parasite has quickly become a top film of mine. I was desperate to see it in Australia when it's 3rd release was closing, but I wasn't able to catch it and I wasn't sure I'd be able to access it so easily in US cinemas. Finally they opened it there, reopened it for the FOURTH time in Australia, and now I've been watching it on flights. I've seen it at least 4 times. I'm in LOVE.

Just got out of LH. Some guy walked out with visible disgust on his face 10 minutes before credits. 10/10

"Parasite" is my best movie of the year by far .. So very excited to watch "The Lighthouse" ! And I LOVED "The Witch"

I’ve only seen The Lighthouse once and haven’t stopped thinking about it since. Such a unique experience!

My two most anticipated movies of the year and you loved em. Now my hype is through the roof.

Saw both and 100% agree. The Lighthouse did not have subtitles and honestly I'm glad I saw it that way, I wouldn't want anything taking my eyes off those expressive faces for half a second and it really helps you get into Pattinson's character's shoes when you're being absolutely overwhelmed by Dafoe's masterful monologues

Bro, now I HAVE to see The Lighthouse. Let's hope it gets a fat release.

Hi! Commenting as someone who just saw THE LIGHTOUSE without subtitles. For me, having to pay close attention to figure out and register what the two men were saying just added another layer to the experience. I don't exactly know how to put this but it felt much more real and in the moment. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen, literally, or else I'd miss something. (Not that I wanted to, though. I'm with you-- it was my favorite of the year.) Yet having to pay extra mind to the dialogue didn't take away from noticing all the other masterful elements of the film, which is quite the achievement. Also, did you hear Robert Eggers is doing a remake of Nosferatu (set to be released in 2023, but that date has been flucuating)?

Pls review midsommar I seem to be one of the only ones who genuinely enjoyed the film and I wanna see your take on it

Dude, Eggman is a really great director. The VVitch was so bizarre and heart felt, I feel like the people involved really believed in it and the acting was incredible, even the small children. I am excited for what this new film has to offer. Thanks for this review Adum, you're a furry but your points are great. Love u.

Saw Parasite during it's opening week with my mother and I absolutely love it. Very keen to see The Lighthouse since I enjoyed The VVitch.

I just watched The Lighthouse... and man that was fuckin' weird. But I liked it, great performances, super interesting visuals, well directed with some amazing shots, and a lot of conversation to be had.

Thank you so much for recommending The Lighthouse! I just got done watching it and, and I'm not sure what the hell I just saw, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely gonna be watching this one several more times.

Just saw the lighthouse. Loved it.

After so many reviews with a 1 to 4 ratings (which honestly deserved them) it's so exciting to see a 9 and a 10 in a single video, I'm excited to watch both of them!

The world needs more hits from the bong

It's actually so well told visually that missing 50% of the dialogue didn't hinder my grasp of the plot.

The design of the lighthouse posted made me excited that it was a film about Lighthouse, the dark being, a 90s Myst ripoff that I remember incredibly fondly for it's really unique world and art design. Love that game

Need a quickie on Midsommar ASAP Adam!

10/10 holy shit this is the real deal. I’ve been excited for this guy’s follow up to the Witch but with sophomore efforts often being disappointments I honestly just had this film in the back burner in my anticipation list. This shot it way up! This an Midsommar are truly bringing artistic psychological thrillers up and I fucking love it!

The way this movie sounds reminds me of an old musings person case in Ireland. Three lighthouse keepers went missing item the middle of a storm in 1900 and the Northern Lighthouse Board wanted to investigate on Christmas Day but they didn't get there until New Year's Night and found everyone missing. I know this film has three characters in it, one of those being the mermaid and the other being Patterson and Defoe, but the third man was only there on occasion. Maybe it was creative liberaties or maybe they couldn't get the right performance. I think there is some connection at the very least.

I honestly can't wait for The Lighthouse. I can't remember the last time I was this excited for a movie

Just saw the lighthouse and I completely agree. Still in shock; perfectly beautiful, funny, horrifying, sorrowful, and exciting. Can’t wait to hear all the different interpretations.

The moment we’ve all been waiting for.

I love these little videos where you show us interesting films. I really appreciate that you make these

I am so excited for The Lighthouse! As a diehard fan of Lovecraft and The VVitch My expectations are incredibly high

The two best movies of 2019

As a casual snobby moviegoer, that aspect ratio edit was nice and informative.

i just watched parasite for the second time today, loved every minute of it, definitely my favourite movie of 2019

If A24 plays their cards right The Lighthouse could be a serious Oscar contender. Though I wonder when would be the best time to release it, limited and wide.

The Lighthouse was amazing. I loved every aspect of it and there is something refreshing about an artistic, stylized, original piece that incorporates so many different genres and aspects so well. I give a 10/10 as well. Top 2 favorite movie of all time.

I wish I could get my father to watch Parasite but he’s one of those people that bitch about subtitles so that’s not gonna happen

I needed subs for the witch as well. I appreciate this directors drive to keep the language of the times as historically accurate as possible.

I can agree subtitles would have helped tremendously, it didn’t ruin the movie, but it made keeping up with the flow of certain scenes nearly impossible. I had to drive two hours round trip to see The Lighthouse and I don’t regret a single mile of it. I love Willem Dafoe and I love this movie!

Been checking for a trailer every few days since this premiered. Please A24, give me a date!

The Lighthouse is probably in my top 5 movies of all time. Loved it.

I've never heard YMS give a film a 10/10 before

I’m super excited for The Lighthouse. Your review makes the wait even more intense!

I hate living in a small village. Neither of these films will get a release anywhere near me...

You're making me so excited for the Lighthouse. I love lighthouses and their history and I've always thought they would be the perfect setting for isolation horror!

The moment we’ve all been waiting for

My hype for The Lighthouse is so real!

Parasite was everything that Joker was supposed to be

I love how they recreate “The Players” credits you see in classic movies. So good

I just saw Parasite this week. I blindly bought the ticket not knowing what it was but quickly remembered what it was once I saw the opening scene which was in the trailer. Although I was taken by surprise by the fact it was a subbed movie which I would've just put off for the longest time if I hadn'tve seen it theaters I am very glad I watched it. The film like Adum said has beautiful cinematography and never felt boring. The humor was very on point and had me laughing. The thriller aspect of the film was very well done although I do think that some of the musical queues were a bit off putting at times

I needed subtitles for this film. I had to watch it with Spanish ones. But I was grateful that they were there.

CANNOT wait for the The Lighthouse!

I am so pumped to watch The Lighthouse, The Witch is one of my favourite modern horror movies

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR PARASITE REVIEW FOR SO LONG WHEW

3:09 You had me at Willem Dafoe

I saw The Lighthouse in the Cork Film Festival and it didn't have subtitles. I honestly found the dialogue hard to follow at points, but I still loved it. I came out thinking the dialogue was supposed to be hard to follow as an artistic choice and, intentional or not, it did sometimes make the film more immersive

Parasite was just brought to theaters in Colombia and I'm so glad I was able to watch it. It was probably because it got nominated to the oscars, thank god for that.

Saw “The Lighthouse” today in theaters (US) and I totally agree that I wish I had subtitles, and will be watching with them on at home on my next viewing. I trust I’ll get even more out of it then, but it actually led me to feel a bit of the isolation simply by not always understanding what was happening or what was being said, despite being extremely close up to the characters at all times.

Now if I can just find the damn lighthouse movie without coming across the 2016 "The Lighthouse." or the one where they are attacked by cthulu sea monsters

Cant wait for this one.

I'm from Nova Scotia! Excited to see a movie made there!

just saw it in Australia without subtitles... It really needed subtitles

Parasite is probably my favorite film of the last decade. It’s emotional and funny, but it’s not too much. It’s not bleak and dower and hard to sit through, i can’t say i’ve seen another movie which juggles its tone and genres so well. So impressive

Can’t wait to see these

Bad luck to kill a sea-bird.

I saw the Lighthouse in the Sydney open-air cinema in Australia and goddamn would it have pissed you off adum. The square format gave the black bars on either side on a massive outdoor screen and at every serious quiet moment in the film you could just hear the party boats in the harbour doofing away. It was so Sydney it was unbelievable.

best movie ive seen past 4-5 years , fell in love imidiately Cant describe how good it felt please do a full analysis cant wait.

Parasite and The Lighthouse are the Roma and Climax of 2019

two reviews higher than 6/10 in row?! Impossible. Also I love DeFoe, I don't see how you can't. He's just so much his own-element and brings that unique energy of his in any movie he's in (that I've seen)

I can't wait for the lighthouse. I've never heard you give a 10 before

when does the lighthouse come out?

REALLY looking forward to both of these, holy hell. As of right now, The Lighthouse will only be released in the USA, Indonesia and Brazil, please don't let that be the case

Rewatching this after finally seeing The Lighthouse. I love this review, it speaks my mind perfectly which is good when I can't put things into words as well as YMS

I hope they show The Lighthouse in the Philippines because I'm dying waiting for this movie. I instantly fell in love with the film the first time I saw the first trailer

Hell yeah!! NOVA SCOTIANS WHERE YOU AT?? No..? Just me..? Oh.

Just saw the lighthouse yesterday, and the fact that I couldn’t understand half of what they were saying made it somehow better.

Didn't realize that Lighthouse was filmed back home. Now I want to see it even more.

I´m so incredibly excited for Lighthouse -Please Release!!!
