Description

From director and writer Sam Mendes (“1917” and “Skyfall”), “Empire of Light” is a moving drama about the power of human connection during turbulent times. Set in and around a faded old cinema in an English coastal town in the early 1980s, it follows Hilary (Olivia Colman), a cinema manager struggling with her mental health, and Stephen (Micheal Ward), a new employee who longs to escape this provincial town in which he faces daily adversity. Both Hilary and Stephen find a sense of belonging through their unlikely and tender relationship and come to experience the healing power of music, cinema, and community.

    A story that is not only visually stunning but a well written one. Leaving you in a daze over the beauty of it all.

    Ignore the haters who disliked this cinematic masterpiece in favor of the superficial juvenile irrelevant Babylon. This film is about the power of art/cinema to heal broken souls (all of us). Those who hate Empire of Light are in severe denial of this shared gift we have of Love, Life, and Humanity. Olivia Colman shines as a single older woman with a troubled past. Micheal Ward shines as a kind young man who wants to study architecture at university. You’ll be moved to see everyday “average” working class Joes and Janes in a more luminous light. Bravo👏 Sam Mendes, Olivia, Micheal and all involved in EOL👏Brav-O!!! Grade: 💯
