What to Know

Critics Consensus

Worth watching for Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton's performances alone, Only Lovers Left Alive finds writer-director Jim Jarmusch adding a typically offbeat entry to the vampire genre.

Sarah Mirk Bitch Media The film is mostly a fun, sweet character study, but it's enjoyable flow is marred periodically by its own desire to be cool. Jan 20, 2021 Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire Somewhere around the lovely scene of Tilda Swinton dancing, freely and wholeheartedly, to the old soul record, Jarmusch's M.O. becomes clear: 'Only Lovers Left Alive' is a hanging-out move, just with vampires. Jun 18, 2016 Full Review Jonathan Romney Film Comment Magazine It makes for one of the most enjoyable and artful pieces of cinematic dandyism in the Jarmusch catalog, and for all its poised flipness, one of the saddest and most serious. Jul 1, 2014 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film Regardless of how you embrace that theme, the way it's presented and executed here is flawless. The performances are amazing and the way Jarmusch uses this kind of world is simply fun. Rated: A Aug 19, 2024 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies It’s a slick, stylish, and moody character piece that doesn’t shy away from asking good questions and prodding reflection. Rated: 4.5/5 Aug 24, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review After settling into the unhurried reflections of Adam and Eve, the mellow film carries on with a pacing that's both bewitching and quietly absorbing Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 15, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Charmaine B Incredibly romantic, sexy, atmospheric, and intellectual. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review Amy R It was a bit slow moving, the concept was decent. It's OK, not the best but I didn't feel like I wasted my time. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review diane S Who knew that the subject of vampires could be rendered so hopelessly boring. What does this movie think it has going for it that it can just coast along with absolutely nothing happening and expect an audience to go along for the ride. Vapid and shockingly without merit. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Vilu S In my top two of the films this year⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review Audience Member One of the best films ever. Jim is a master director. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review gianna g only lovers left alive! there isn't any real plot or climax to the film, it's basically just a hang-out film as you watch these two vampires adam and eve live their lives. it's truthfully a good watch for anyone who enjoys tom hiddleston or likes his films!
