Only Lovers Left Alive

CriticsCritics: 83
AudienceAudience: 7.3

A depressed musician reunites with his long-time lover, whose centuries-spanning romance has survived changing times. Their quiet existence is unsettled when her impulsive younger sister arrives, forcing the couple to deal with family tensions, loneliness, and the difficulties of finding meaning in an enduring life.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy poetic romance, melancholy atmosphere, thoughtful dialogue, and unconventional vampire stories like Paterson; Not for you if you want fast action, scares, or a tightly plotted narrative.
