» In Robert Eggers' The Lighthouse, Willem Dafoe is a demented Poseidon, or perhaps a crazed, ocean-battered ex-sailor on the run from a Melville novel. Playing one of the two lighthouse keepers on a wind-whipped rocky islet in the Atlantic, circa 1890s, Dafoe turns up his mad-uncle mode, feral hair, chronic farting and drawling speech, plus a possessive relationship with the lantern -- the source of light atop the lighthouse (he refers to it as a "she").

» One hundred and fifty-two years since Louisa May Alcott's classic novel, and 26 years since Gillian Armstrong's heartwarming, Christmas spirit-themed version, the acclaimed American director Greta Gerwig has brought Little Women, a beloved coming-of-age tale back to the silver screen again. The new movie sees the director well-balanced between paying homage to the original material, as well as putting her own personal stamp on it, and the result is absolutely fresh, gorgeous and a delightful watch. The current version of Little Women features a wonderful cast, including Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Eliza Scanlen, and Florence Pugh. There are also supporting performances from Timothée Chalamet, Laura Dern, Chris Cooper, Meryl Streep, Bob Odenkirk, and Louis Garrel.
