Nosferatu
Hmmmmm I'll have to watch it again but initially this is my least favourite of Eggers work. I watched it over 2 nights as well (pretty much half and half) and on doing that it's so much more apparent how gorgeous and sparse the first half is compared to the second. I also have a major problem with the acting in this. I've seen people say it's good but I don't know if some of the cast are doing some kind of homage to early 20th century theatre ham but it pulls me right out of the film. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is by far the worst culprit for this and looks woefully miscast. But yeah, overall looks great as you'd expect but plot and acting just a solid meh. Strong first half followed by a plodding second with Taylor Johnson getting too much screen time.
