'Only Lovers Left Alive': 86% on Rotten Tomatoes and a Must-Watch Vampire Romance

Still from the film 'Only Lovers Left Alive'

Explore the haunting beauty of Jim Jarmusch's vampire masterpiece.

Only Lovers Left Alive, holding an impressive 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, showcases Jim Jarmusch's atmospheric exploration of eternal love and existential ennui. Released on April 11, 2014, the film enchants viewers with its hypnotic visuals and thought-provoking themes. Filmed primarily in Tangier and Detroit, it is available to stream on major platforms, making it easy for audiences in the UK and beyond to enjoy.

What Is Only Lovers Left Alive About?

The film follows Adam (Tom Hiddleston), a centuries-old musician grappling with disillusionment, and his wife Eve (Tilda Swinton), whose ancient wisdom balances his melancholy. Eve, older than Adam by centuries, reunites with him as they wander through moonlit streets and dusty vinyl shops, only to have their harmony disrupted by Eve’s wild younger sister Ava (Mia Wasikowska).

A signature detail is their frequent use of gloves — a symbolic and practical gesture highlighting their heightened sensitivity and the dangers of physical contact. This stylistic choice deepens the film's rich visual and thematic language.
