Eggers understands that fairy tales and superstitions don’t persist because they are true or because they are absolute fantasies, but because they are both at the same time.
If the immediate, textural pleasures of the film are such that you can almost miss the deftness of its construction, the skill with which Eggers balances out his ambivalent storytelling, while still ramping through ever-escalating climaxes, can’t be overstated.

One of the greatest films ever made in my opinion. Dafoe's performance here is one of the best performances of all time.

The Lighthouse becomes something that few movies can claim to be: memorable. Detractors might shrug it off as self-indulgent, artsy slop, but it’s too damn fun and aesthetics-minded for that accusation to hold much weight.
The Lighthouse is a riveting but decidedly non-mainstream horror film. Even if the ending is imperfect, I’d love to see more movies like this.
Eggers meticulously sets the scene, adds texture and builds tension and mystery from men locked in battle and sometimes in embrace. He has created a story about an age-old struggle, one that is most satisfyingly expressed in this film’s own tussle between genre and its deviations.
What unfolds is a perverse odd-couple tale, flooded with ornate dialogue, surreal storytelling and nightmarish imagery.
The Lighthouse is more than four times longer than a “Twilight Zone” episode, and 100 times worse.
A masterpiece being good from the beginning, middle, and end I'm not sure what I would even classify this film since it has a mix of comedy, horror, drama, etc.

This mind twisting movie was unbearable for me especially after first half. The cinematography was good and acting by the both actors was also good. This movie was one time watch and you will be not able to bear this movie second time.

Shot, acted and directed with skill, The Lighthouse is very atmsopheric but it's ambiguous choices near the end parallel some elements of the VVitch (among other films) a little too much to be truly revolutionary.

This movie managed to leave me bored and disgusted at the same time. Corporeal fluid and gases abound, and don't seem to serve any other purpose than to delve into sordid territory. As for the story, for me it utterly fails to convey any higher meaning. It's not a journey into madness, not a supernatural thriller, I would be hard pressed to say what it *is*. More than anything, it seemed like a jumbled mess of discomforting moments, so much so that I just couldn't wait to see the end titles roll. But does it go anywhere? Nope.
