This disarmingly cheeky, intermittently gorgeous trifle would create the perfect bookend to a career begun almost 50 years ago. Read full review

Twixt is fun, but fairly flimsy - it doesn't have the ambition of his previous film, the black-and-white character piece "Tetro." It's also not really scary, although there are some nice creepy visuals here and there. Read full review

Sometimes it’s fascinating, but just as often, it’s frustrating: It’s a film without a net, and it tends to land with a thud. Read full review

It's a film which fatally fails to hold your focus: events seem both predictable and mumbled; the monochrome looks grubby, the splashes of colour and blood joke shop cheap. Read full review

While those looking for a few midnight movie scares will find themselves very disappointed, the film is funny, sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. Read full review

It's an odd little film that goes for a similar 'poetic fairy tale horror' style as Coppola's much more successful "Bram Stoker's Dracula" or Neil Jordan's masterpiece "The Company of Wolves", but only reaches this goal in a few moments.

The main problem is the casting of Val Kilmer in the lead, who is not bad, but kind of uninteresting. The whole film is too low key and the production design looks cheap in a few scenes. The effects look simple. The good things are Bruce Dern, Elle Fanning, Alden Ehrenreich, Tom Waits (narration), E.A. Poe references, the humor and especially the nice cinematography by Mihai Malaimare Jr., who is doing some beautiful work on a low budget. Still, it's worth seeing as a minor Coppola film: It's certainly more ambitious than your average vampire flick. The French film magazine "Cahiers du cinéma" even named it the 3rd best film of 2012...… Expand
