Watch Only Lovers Left Alive For Free

Strong and Moving!

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

One of the most beautiful love story in cinema. No need of dialogs, the way the characters look at each other or act when they are together says it all. The fact that they are vampires only confirms that this love is actually eternal. The movie has a unique style given by cinematography and music which are perfect too. The only way I could describe this film is saying that watching it feels like reading a poem or listening to a really really good song.

It's done just to be appreciated! It's a quiet, slow and obscure movie with an excellent photograph AND a great cast. The script it's not the greatest thing, it's very contemporary, empty and slow especially in the beggining, the best parts are between the lines, the sutil things like the brilliant playings (actings) united to a wonderful and pretty photograph and an excellent soundtrack. It's worth it!

At first glance, Jim Jarmusch has brought his laid back, artistic sensibilities to the vampire genre in "Only Lovers Left Alive," but that would be a fairly surface-level reduction of this unusual, sophisticated film.Like all of Jarmsuch's films, "Only Lovers" cares little for story and a lot for scenario. He builds these deeply rich albeit kind of cold portraits of two lovers who are centuries if not millennia old in order to explore mortality and purpose in a new, meaningful way. Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton are so sublimely subtle in their performances as Adam and Eve. They are distant and standoffish yet also alluring and maybe even familiar. The two lovers begin the film apart, he as a reclusive rock musician living in Detroit and she a voracious reader in Tangier. When Eve senses Adam has become a bit withdrawn, jaded and depressed — he's namely frustrated with the degradation of society — she flies out to be with him, a reunion that proves rejuvenating until Eve's sister Eva (Mia Wasikowska) shows up and imposes her recklessness upon them.The story could rather easily be told about normal humans, which is partly why classifying "Only Lovers" as a vampire film is misguided. The vampirism merely allows Jarmusch to mine the human condition at an even deeper level. Adam has been crafting music for centuries and inspired some of the greatest musicians of all time; Eve has a gift for dating any object she touches and is a wellspring of knowledge and literature. This gives Jarmusch his free pass to deal in matters of the intellect, as well as drop in countless cultural, scientific and historic references. Fortunately, in doing so he doesn't completely strip the film of accessibility because he remains so fixed on his two main subjects.Although the film takes some time to get into a groove with its audience, Jarmusch has a way of sliding us into its ambiance. That's the other benefit of the vampire component — it adds tremendous atmosphere. Jarmusch loves to tour his audiences through forgotten, once-vibrant places, especially cities, and the nocturnal rhythm of "Only Lovers" really lets the tones he prefers sink in at deeper level.The overall vibe of the movie is grim. Add to that these cold characters who would do anything to avoid attention and derive joy only from being together and wrapping their heads around the world's biggest ideas and as a filmmaker you risk putting a large distance between your film and audiences, especially those with mainstream tastes. It can certainly be difficult to care about them at times, yet the way they carry perspective and the way they navigate the circumstances of their survival as vampires and other predicaments in the film slowly reveals their relatable humanity.Emotional investment is a little harder to come by, but that's a byproduct of Jarmusch's intellect-driven style. The way he writes makes it difficult to connect with his characters on a deeply personal level. We can see reflections of who we are in these characters and the scenarios they find themselves in, but there is a definitive glass wall between us and them. As in past films, the characters also represent extreme stances. As much as we'd like Adam, for example, to lighten up and relax his rules and stances, we appreciate his demeanor in the face of the relentlessly troublemaking Ava. Jarmusch has always enjoyed pitting opposing perspectives against each other, and considering how much perspective matters in the life of an immortal vampire who can't go out during the day and needs blood to survive, these character experiments matter.Of course at the heart of "Only Lovers" is a love story, even if romance has never been one of Jarmusch's strength. Instead, he paints their love as a passionate partnership and a mutual reliance on each other to provide purpose. In a world where everything else around you dies or changes, love suddenly becomes the most powerful thing of all.~Steven CThanks for reading! Visit Movie Muse Reviews for more

Centuries old vampires exist in the modern world. And that's it, that's the plot. The fascinating Tilda Swinton (Eve) looks exotic in a number of baroque outfits, Tim Hiddleston (Adam) plays a typically soft spoken goth, and John Hurt is the supplier who brings them superior blood – 'the good stuff' – for a special treat. The acting is terrific and very natural, convincingly portraying what life would be like if they really did live forever.The look of the film is rich and lavish. Writer and director Jim Jarmusch is clearly in love with the concept. Very much like the earlier, rather more succinct, 'Kiss of the Damned (2013)', the sedate pacing and uneventful lifestyle is interrupted by the arrival of the heroine's unruly and precocious younger sister, Ava (Mia Wasikowska).After watching Adam and Eve doing things really slowly, it is to be hoped that Ava's inclusion would be something of a shot in the arm. Not to dispel their night-time sanctuary, but just to provide … something. After all, about the most eventful occurrence up until this point is when the electricity cuts during another airing of their surprisingly non-goth music. For her duration, Ava's presence does exactly as it should – shakes the two old vampires up and disrupts the complacency that has marred the film up to this point.My favourite character is probably Ian, the wheeler-dealer type. He's a shadowy, shady 'zombie' (Adam's contemptuous name for humans) and is enthralled by the rock and roll lifestyle these real 'life' goths adhere to. It is his demise at the hands of Ava that propels the couple, first to rid themselves of her (and therefore the interest she brings) and then to travel to Tangiers, where Eve was residing during the film's opening.There's no doubt for me that Ava's appearance makes things more interesting, but also has the effect of making me appreciate more the earlier, tranquil non-eventfulness of the story, and Adam and Eve's understandable need for a return to that anonymity. Their story has quietly become compelling.I rarely quote other reviews, preferring my opinions to emerge uninfluenced, but my favourite critique of 'Only Lovers Left Alive' is from Jessica Kiang of 'IndieWire', who gave the film a B+ grade, saying, "the real pleasure of the film is in its languid droll cool and its romantic portrayal of the central couple, who are now our number one role models in the inevitable event of us turning vampiric."
