The visually striking and ambitious black and white film 'The Lighthouse' is a movie I was excited to see for months, but while watching it I was disappointed by the lack of story. The foreshadowing given at the beginning by Thomas saying his last hand went insane and was sent home made the entire film predictable and boring. Walking out of the theater I came away with nothing other than it was a shining remake inside of a lighthouse. The cheesy pirate dialogue and unintelligible rants of Willem DaFoe kept me awake but only to decide that it was a worse movie for keeping it like that. The lighthouse is a mediocre movie disguised as a movie people go to see to make themselves feel smart after watching it. It's a movie that someone who moved to Portland Oregon to be "part of the culture" would think is good.
