Only Lovers Left Alive (2013)

Rating: 2.5/5

Depressed vampire wants a wooden bullet to end it all, but his perfect wife helps him get out of his funk by letting him explain science to her

The permanently tight camera makes the world feel small — and perhaps it is foe these two, who are each other’s world, but the claustrophobic scenes 

The exploring of Detroit was so lame, it feels like Ryan Gosling explaining jazz. Also, them knowing, like, every famous person is so silly and adds absolutely nothing, especially with how small-minded and self-absorbed Hiddleston’s character is

I might have appreciated it more if I were looking for a vibe movie, but I didn’t enjoy anyone or anything that was going on. A textbook movie not made for me
