MOVIE REVIEW
Vampires get the dramatic treatment in writer/director Jim Jarmusch's Only Lovers Left Alive, a bleak movie featuring a strong visual style and terrific performances by Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston. Unfortunately, it also features a painfully slow story that will make you wish a vampire had sucked you dry hours earlier.Read our Only Lovers Left Alive movie review »
