Only Lovers Left Alive Reviews

This movie really gives us nothing new conceptually about Vampires. The idea that they are fundamentally decadent over-emotional punk rock quasi Goths has pretty much been done to death. This is more of that same vein (get it?). The idea that they live so long they become rich and expert in many topics and have encountered historical celebrities has been bloody done before. And the idea that they have adopted new technology to become less overtly evil and move invisible, you're not sticking your neck out with that concept.

A reclusive wealthy musical genius Vampire hides in the abandoned ruins of Detroit. He is old. He has a 'wife' who lives across the world and I guess they spend a lot of time apart. He is bored with his not life.

Threads of plot appear to develop. His world is dark and moody. His wife is dark and moody. He takes a radical step to consider suicide. That plot device fizzles out. His wife appears, and they share a premonition. Her sister shows up. Something obvious happens. Then something else obvious happens. Then that plot device sizzles out. Then they have to feed to live. The story ends.

What have we learned? Drinking blood is kind of like shooting up Heroin, you catch a buzz and crash. So basically, we have Mr. and Mrs. Smack come to life. (That's a song from the 80's..a good song...check it out on YouTube...it has more substance than this movies).

The acting is good in this movie. The casting is great. Mia Wasikowska maybe hams it up too much, but not that bad. Anton Yelchin does a great job. Hiddleston and Tilda are pros.

Jarmusch layers on the style, captures the setting of decaying Detroit and uses it well. There is simply no plot to this movie, and ultimately that drives a wooden stake through it's heart.
