Robert Pattinson, The Devil All the Time

Netflix’s star-studded Gothic thriller featured no shortage of memorable characters and moments, yet none could hold a candle to Robert Pattinson’s peculiar take on the despicable Reverend Preston Teagardin. Teagardin appears late in the film as the new, charismatic pastor the impresses his congregation with his pompous persona while sexually abusing minors on the sly. Pattinson makes bold choices in his approach to the character, including forgoing any Southern dialect coaching to concoct a bizarre accent entirely of his own making. The atypical accent would derail an insidious predator into pure comedy relief in lesser hands, yet Pattinson makes it work for his weirdly charming character. Pattinson continues to pick the unpredictable path in his career, and his appearance in The Devil All the Time shows why that’s a great thing.

8. “Tenet”

What kind of picture is it? Big, certainly: IMAX-scaled, and a hefty 150 minutes even after a visibly ruthless edit. It’s clever, too — yes, the palindromic title has some narrative correlation — albeit in an exhausting, rather joyless way. As second comings go, “Tenet” is like witnessing a Sermon on the Mount preached by a savior who speaks exclusively in dour, drawn-out riddles. Any awe is flattened by follow-up questions.

No. 9 The Lighthouse

Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe are simply unmissable in this old-timey horror fixated on the idea of what isolation will do to a person and inspired by remarkable art of centuries past. And under the never-flinching lens of Robert Eggers’ camera, the duo anchor one of North America’s most expressive pieces in a decade to something tangible and at times even relatable. …

Standout releases for me include Antonio Campos’s playfully sinister The Devil All the Time (with its excellent cast of Robert Pattinson, Mia Wasikowska, Tom Holland, Bill Skarsgård and Riley Keough)

Robert Pattinson Voted Best Actor 2020 & More | Humo Magazine (Belgium) “Film Year Overview”

Rob seems to be a favourite at Humo Magazine. Here’s how they have decided their Film Year Overview – laughing at their solution to rid Ostend of seagulls.

BEST ACTOR 2020

1. Robert Pattinson In ‘Tenet’ he slipped with gusto in the flannel suit of a secret agent who seems to have run away from a John le Carré novel , in ‘The Lighthouse’ he wore the cap of a crazy lighthouse keeper, and in ‘The Devil All the Time ‘he preached into a sweat like a pastor who goes to work with underage girls. Hats off three times.

MOST ALIEN TABLE

1. Robert Pattinson and John David Washington who stare in ‘Tenet’ at bullets that are the result of a shooting … which has yet to happen!

MOST EASIEST SCENE

2. Since he has seen him whack a gull to a pulp in ‘The Lighthouse’, Mayor Bart Tommelein has been doing everything he can to get Robert Pattinson to Ostend to solve the gull nuisance.

BEST MOVIE

1. ‘ Tenet ‘ (★★★★★ )In the year that ‘No Time to Die’ disappeared from the calendar and Sean Connery , the one and only 007, gave his last gasp, Christopher Nolan turned on between lockdowns with an overwhelming ( ‘You wanna crash a plane?‘) spy thriller that can best be described as a surreal Bond film. The philosophy of the grandfather paradox and the temporal pincer movement turned out to be an insurmountable stumbling block for many spectators, but admit it: of all living filmmakers, only Nolan is able to come up with a smashing and completely credible climax in which several hundred soldiers clash with opponents who are in a reverse flow of time.

2. ‘ The Lighthouse ‘ (★★★★ ½) Lighthouse keepers Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson hooking their arms together like mad bitches and stamping their feet on the floor while singing ‘Sassy little whore, hurray!’ : it is just one of the many crazy highlights in this hard-hitting masterpiece by top talent Robert Eggers.

Thanks Sara for heads up.

Robert Pattinson “is one of the best actors alive today”

Jan Dabrowski of Film Org (Poland) wrote an article about Robert Pattinson being “one of the best actors alive today” and provides his evidence from his 5 favourite performances – Little Ashes, The King, Good Time, The Lighthouse and The Devil All the Time. Here’s an excerpt of what Jan had to say:

Robert Pattinson is one of the best actors alive today.  If someone snorted at that point, one of two things has happened. Either his consciousness stopped 10 years ago or he avoids Pattinson’s films. For the last 12 years (i.e. from the premiere of the first Twilight), the actor managed to show in all possible ways that he finds himself in very demanding roles, that he can move crowds with facial expressions and voice, that he is a master of accents and characteristic characters. The Youth Vampire Saga is just a few films from his body of work, which currently consists of 39 productions, and Pattinson is currently 34 years old. An impressive result.

It is simply ignorant to consider him “the wooden actor in those vampire movies”. Now Pattinson does not have to prove anything to anyone, and before 40 he made appearances in films that include David Cronenberg, Robert Eggers and Christopher Nolan. From this he is the new Batman which not only sounds promising, it will probably open up an even wider path to prestigious productions and cooperation with the most appreciated artists. Regardless of how Pattinson’s career unfolds in the future, there is now plenty to choose from. Below are my personal top 5 best performances:

[Little] Ashes

… Pattinson starts out as a shy introvert to become a living lion and a hysterical, and with every acting charge he makes an impression. And he was only 22 at the time. Anyone who mocks him for Twilight should applaud him just as earnestly for Ashes.

[The] King

… The Dauphin mocks the English king at every opportunity, and Pattinson adds another nasty villain with an excellent accent to his achievements. 

Good Time

The only glimpse of good that can be found in it is the bond with the brother he cares about. This feeling, combined with aggression and dissatisfaction with everything else, makes this creation one of the most interesting in Pattinson’s career, which could finally go crazy in a very expressive starring role.

[The] Lighthouse

… It is difficult to recognize him, because his face changed with his speech and behavior, new grimaces and facial expressions appeared. Even during the acting charges and the most touching scenes, Pattinson keeps his character within the convention. This is one of the biggest bricks he has contributed to building his image as a versatile, hard and effective actor who is not afraid of difficult roles or non-obvious, complicated characters.

The Devil All the Time

… And in every single scene, Pattinson is seductively angry. An arrogant pastor with a southern accent is a short but show-off role, and watching this slimy guy make the viewer feel dirty just to watch. This impression is similar to that of Jake Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler: a slippery, nasty type that will lead everyone to a poor end. With the role of Teagardin, Pattinson took another big step in his career towards the well-deserved Oscar.
