At first, I thought I'd be looking at yet another clichéd goth vampire movie, but it slowly, steadily won me over. I respect the intelligent dialog, of course; however, I think what really intrigued me most was the mood- the darkness, the loneliness, the silence. There's absolutely a middle-of-the-night feel to "Only Lovers Left Alive" that really worked, and it set the exactly proper stage for the characters and the action.
Like all movies, I went in having avoided any and all information about the film (story, actors, director, etc) so the journey from 5 to 9 out of 10 was really satisfying.
