Mild spoilers: This is a weird movie. To those already into vampire fiction, it doesn't tread me ground and some elements of how she is kept alive feel tired. It would have been better in a longer format like a show. I get the art of it, but it's one of the few arthouse films of the last few decades I haven't seen greatness in. Good acting and a solid mood are just half the equation.

Pretty consistent with the book which is always a surprise for me with adaptations. Amazing cast. Solid movie. 10/10 Would definitely let the right one in.

Rent this movie, you won't regret it
