Twilight (2008)

I hadn’t watched this since it first came out, and back then, I was a teenager myself. Not sure what made me rewatch it today, but here we are. I’d forgotten about its indie feel—the hand-held, sometimes shaky camera work, the unique angles, and stylized editing. The scenery is beautiful and atmospheric, creating a moody vibe that fits the story well. But beyond that? Not much more to say. One thing that did stand out this time was the actor playing Bella’s dad—gruff but earnest, and he pulled it off nicely. As for the leads… let’s just say their acting didn’t quite land the same way. They’ve delivered better performances in other films, but here, with the awkwardness and the stilted dialogue, it was hard to enjoy.
