So beautifully dark and romantic and devastating. Love the slow pace, the passion and the feeling of tragedy just around the corner.

The world may change but these two vampires stay the same, forever in love and life, superior to the 'zombies' who populate the decaying townships.

A good film for the patient. There is little gore, no horror and not a lot going on. Its existentialist, melancholic, lyrical and beautiful in the face of death.

Swinton, Hiddleston and Wasikowska are magnificent.

If there was a movie for art students who want to feel self-absorbed, then this is it. A bunch of vampires name drop, listen to music and mention that they had dreams. Lots of references about time because vampires are old. Lots of parallels of vampires and humans. Nothing original. The main vampire is a fed up monotone reclusive artist who is often too intellectual to say most descriptive sentences simply. Cringey effort from Jarmuck.

I can't believe no one's mentioned Jeffrey Wright's performance in this!! It might be my fave extended cameo ever.

This is quite the calm film that's much more about humanity, rather than anything else.

I put this film off for some time due to the fact that I'm allergic to vampire flicks. Hence, I did something wrong.

This is, mainly, a Jim Jarmusch film. If you haven't seen his stuff, do. This is a great addition to his little canon.

Swinton and Hiddleston play two vampires, 3000 and 500 years old, respectively, who live in our current day. This does _not_ mean they'll start sprouting a lot of awe-inspiring Shakespearian words, and their history is surprisingly left to its own devices, i.e. letting the viewer think rather than have everything served on a platter.

You get to do a lot of thinking on your own in this film. Not that you have to. The film flows and drowses through time, radially, even from the very first scenes.

It's more an experience than a film. The music's great. It's almost existential, this one.

La mejor película vampírica que he visto en bastante tiempo, con poesía y cultura lograron un amor eterno, las locaciones se ajustan por completo y el rock y el blues la complementan de manera espectacular.

That's what the whole genre of films about vampires need! A fresh look. This unique, dreamy atmosphere just haze. Sometimes even a bit too much.

Music in the movie is brilliant, I can't wait for the soundtrack to come out. The movie in itself is very good. Artsy, but you'd expect that from Jarmusch. It's still worth the watch. It's not a typical, trashy vampyre movie, and I love that. I like the story, the way it's told, and the acting is superb (Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston are perfect for their roles). The only downside is it's very slow-paced.

So bittersweet. Reminds me of, "Coffee and Cigarettes," in tone _and_ number of cameos. And, adds meaning to _that_ episode of, "What We Do In The Shadows," (S01E07).

Someone else posits this may not work without Hiddleston & Swinton, but, I counter...this prolly doesn't work without a healthy dose of dopamine, injected now and then during the performance (come on, if you're not feeling it then the experience will be shallow, so wait for another day).

A fantastic modern take on the Dracula theme. The only negative comment I have is that the introduction of the characters is just a bit too long, but I am aware that is a style choice.

Alternative art rock shoegazer vampire love story. The movie shows you their life rutine, which is super slow, and dark. SHIT BRO It is spooky as fuck. OH BOY I'm gonna have some nightmares for real for real. The movie looks amazing but boring and super slow.

Jim Jarmusch delivers a 100 minute music video judging by the soundtrack and the style, but also judging by the acting and the script.

I was honestly worried by the premise of a love story between two intellectual vampires who have been fostering human culture for centuries, but it’s clear that the film doesn’t take itself too seriously. Despite being a melancholic and contemplative film with psychedelic overtones, Jim Jarmusch’s distinctive sense of offbeat humor keeps things down to earth and never obnoxious. While Hiddleston plays the poète maudit, the suicidal rockstar, Swinton is, on the contrary, the hippie vampire who teaches him the gift of life. These two opposite forces keep balancing each other for the whole film, even though it’s not at all difficult to understand which side the director prefers. If compared to all the vampire garbage that has been made in the last 30 years, it almost felt like a masterpiece. Still, I was expecting some more stimulating considerations other than the usual whining about modern society and the self-destructive nature of mankind.

The not really a vampire movie vampire movie from Jarmusch. Visually rich with some tasty performances by both leads and the supporting cast. Soundtrack is very good and the music used effectively throughout the film.

What a unique movie! If I am being honest I don't know if any of this works without the considerable talents of Swinton and Hiddleston. Not much happens in this movie but the viewer probably doesn't really care. Just seeing the two leads interact with each other and struggle to fit into human culture is enough. I don't know if this movie would be better or worse if had had more of a plot.
