The early reviews of Nosferatu have labeled the film as a masterpiece, and Lily-Rose Depp seems to be standing out in the best way possible.
The Nosferatu remake has been highly anticipated since it was first announced. Although audiences are always hesitant about remakes of classic films, the cast and the people involved with the project brought them some hope. With The Lighthouse’s Robert Eggers heading the project, it stars big names like Bill Skarsgård, Willem Dafoe, Emma Corrin, and Lily-Rose Depp.
The last name from the bunch has caused many to hesitate though, wondering if one more ‘nepo baby’ would end up ruining a film because they had connections in the right places. However, if the early reviews are to be believed, fans do not have to worry about Depp’s acting in the slightest.
Lily-Rose Depp Created Cause for Concern With Nosferatu
The nepotism debate has been ongoing in Hollywood for many years now. It has become quite common for the public to debate if relatives of stars getting a leg-up in the industry is ethical or not. While many wonder if certain ‘nepo babies’ are deserving of the success they have, there are a few celebrities that prove that they are worthy of their position in the industry.
Most recently, many wondered if Lily-Rose Depp deserved the success and opportunities that she is getting after starring in Sam Levinson’s disappointing series, The Idol. When it was announced that she would be playing a key role in the adaptation of the 1922 classic, Nosferatu, fans were worried.
There have been many cases of nepotism affecting the quality of a film, especially if it is supposed to be high quality. Audiences are forced to see some actors give the performances of their lives, while one actor with the right connections delivers lines in a subpar manner. Many were worried that Depp would lead to a similar situation.
However, the actress seems to be making her talent loudly known, with her performance standing out in a cast full of the best Hollywood has to offer.
Fans Have Nothing to Worry About
The early reviews of Nosferatu have been released for the world to see, and they are nothing but positive. Many reviews have sung nothing but praise for the film, calling it excellent in every way possible. From its horror to its story, and most importantly, its responsibility to honor the original, have all been handled in an excellent manner, according to reviewers.
However, amid all the praise about the film itself, only one star seems to be singled out in the best way possible. It would seem that Lily-Rose Depp has given an excellent performance in the project. Although this was already evident when the trailers first came out, the reviews only seem to reinforce this belief.
Prepare yourself for the scariest film since The Shining!! Robert Eggers has created a masterpiece.
From calling her performance gripping to referring to her as “the woman at the center of it all,” it is safe to say that Depp has made her father, the legendary Johnny Depp, proud. Additionally, the film on its own has received excellent reviews too, with Chris Columbus himself comparing it to The Shining on his Instagram account.
Nosferatu will be released in theaters on 24th December 2024.
