A very good movie.
The two parts of the film are very distinct and not redundant. The sets and costumes are almost a character in their own right. It's good to see a director taking care of such details.
Good performances and Lilly Rose is pretty incredible, especially her possessed gestures. It doesn't surprise me that she and Eggers have rewatched Andrzej Żuławski's “The Devil”. There are a lot of references there.
If I had anything to complain about, it would be :
But overall, I really liked it.

If I had anything to complain about, it would be :
The scene where Franz (Dafoe) burns down the mansion is perfect and we should have stopped there with him. Seeing him again in the bedroom to explain what we see/know doesn't add anything. Plus, I can't see him running as fast as Thomas to catch up. Eggers should have stopped at the mansion for Defoe. But anyway, maybe it's the fact that everything has to be explained to the viewer, in contrast to The Lighthouse.
But overall, I really liked it.
And Lilly's nipples are worth the detour.
