Synopsis

Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother remarries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn’t expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she’s ever met. Intelligent and witty, he sees straight into her soul. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance. Edward can run faster than a mountain lion, he can stop a moving car with his bare hands - and he hasn’t aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he’s immortal. But he doesn’t have fangs, and he doesn’t drink human blood; Edward and his family are unique among vampires in their lifestyle choice.

Critics' reviews

"The most entertaining teen film since '10 Things I Hate About You' (...) It is, in its unworldly way, sweetly idealistic with a charm all of its own (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Peter Bradshaw: The Guardian
"The director here manages to improve on the film’s papery progenitor (...) [It] will delight fans (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Will Lawrence: Empire
"I watched 'Twilight' in a cinema full of young girls who, when they weren't texting friends and guzzling soft drinks, giggled, sighed and exhaled with a passion that was not only endearing, but a measure of its emotional truth"

Sukhdev Sandhu: Telegraph
"The two hormonal teenagers sizzle like sausages in a frying pan. The supernatural stunts don't disappoint. Neither does the deadpan wit (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

James Christopher: The Times
"The movie is lush and beautiful, and the actors are well-chosen. (...) 'Twilight' will mesmerize its target audience (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)."

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
"A deeply sincere, outright goofy vampire romance for the hot-not-to-trot abstinence set. (...) This carefully faithful adaptation traces the sighs and whispers"

Manohla Dargis: The New York Times
"A disappointingly anemic tale of forbidden love that should satiate the pre-converted but will bewilder and underwhelm viewers who haven't devoured Stephenie Meyer's bestselling juvie chick-lit franchise."
