Empire of Light Reviews

I sometimes felt like the film was struggling to figure out what it wanted to be: a narrative on race relations, friendship, love, cinema, mental illness, misogyny, history…not sure it ever figured itself out. The lesson? Just because others say you’re broken doesn’t mean you are

This made me miss the old movie theater I used to go to all the time before they closed it down a couple of years ago.

es media rara,más parece una película de culto

A heartwarming movie and excellent acting by Olivia Coleman!

crap

This is such a beautiful film. It portrayed humanity how my soul feels it

I thought I couldn’t love this film more until I rewatched it today. Top tier acting, cinematography, editing, and music. Toby Jones’ scenes makes me cry both of the times.

So beautiful in so many ways

Something different. Good film.

Interesting story about a woman with schizophrenia and a young black man in the middle of racial strife in 1980s UK.

Je sais pas la j’avoue

I just love everything with Olivia Colman in it

liked the movie a lot. but i felt like sometimes it wasn't really sure what it was about - either race, love, mental health.... it's been too many topics mixed but only kinda halfhearted.

not what i expected but i liked it all the same. very moving. cinematography was excellent, as was the music
7/10

Beautifully shot, as you would expect from Roger Deakins, and Sam Mendes is a master storyteller and filmmaker. The story is powerful and at times uncomfortable to watch, set in an English coastal town during the turbulent 1980s, primarily at an aging movie house.

I loved this movie. The acting was phenomenal

very heartwarming but the plot was very scattered

Olivia Colman puts her whole in a performance which did not disappoint. However, I did find the theme of the film very clear. Feminism? Mental strain and society’s lack of empathy? Racism? Maybe they all come together, but is a bit of a not fluid way
