3 out of 5 stars.
Empire of Light is a fair romantic drama film with a love letter to 1980s cinema and its conflicted times during the 1980s. Director Sam Mendes does a great job building a romantic story of a lady who suffers from a mental illness and working at a cinema theater with supporting coworkers. And a manager that is taking advantage of her. Until she meets a guy who she falls in love with.
Its a film about finding connections. Even during rough times. The film does have a thin plot which does not do much with leaving its mark. Making it quite forgettable. Great acting from the cast. Overall, it is an okay film that is thin as ice with its plot and forgettable.
