There is no art devised by man that does not include sexuality of some sort. The Lighthouse is no exception to this rule. Brandauer sees nothing wrong in stirring bad-guy Duvall's bathwater. Neither does his son seem to mind Arliss Howard's kiss. The claustrophobic atmosphere of this ship is dense with sexuality. It has other qualities as well. That is of course obvious.To my mind it is an excellent thriller. I have always been keen on sea faring vessels. This film is not perfect. But it surprises me each time I watch it. Not maybe the best but surely not the worst. Try watching it with an open mind. It seems to have this not so rare hate or love quality. That is definitely it's forte.
