Fragile relationships between flawed and frightened people in an era of authoritarian social pressure before instant judgment and shame became ubiquitous on social media. One of the year's best. Tune out the noise of the critics and watch it alone if you have to.

Great performances wasted on an aimless and unfocused screenplay. Sam Mendes is a much better director than he is a writer.

Olivia Colman is awesome. Too bad her performance can't save this truly mediocre film.

"To fuck, or not to fuck." Yes, that's an actual line from the movie. 'Empire of Light' shines the brightest with its dark yellow/goldish cinematography and performances. Other than that, this might be Sam Mende's worst movie. The whole movie talks about the "power" of cinema, etc. However, the power is sadly missing here. Incredibly dreary and tricky to pinpoint what the story is. It's all over the damn place. It follows the themes of mental illness, racism, forbidden love, and escapism. But those aspects are either underdeveloped or poorly executed. Not the worst movie ever made, but it's painfully bland.

Like a marshmallow and paperclip beef stew: there's a lot in it but it doesn't go together well.

So, at first I thought the film was a tribute to the love of cinema and I was like, Oh, cool. But then I was like, Oh, the movie's about mental health issues, cool. But then I was all, Oh wait, it's a More

"Hilary" (Olivia Colman) is the shift leader at a grand old cinema living a routine life and largely just going through the motions each day. When the young "Stephen" (a strong and engaging performance from Micheal Ward) arrives, she takes him on a tour of the building and that takes them to the upp More
