Het verhaal is een beetje voorspelbaar maar visueel is de film pareltje. Elke scène lijkt als het ware een schilderij dat tot leven komt. Vaak zit je met open mond te kijken naar wat zich voor je ogen afspeelt. Lees meer

This is a class film to kick off 2023 with. Although a tough watch in places, the film is exquisitely crafted and is a love letter from Sam Mendes to the cinema of his (and my!) youth. Lees meer

That escapist magic, while plenty special as we all know, is as fleeting as the permeating effect attempted in Empire of Light. The private and civil issues present in this film cannot be fixed and are not fixed by silver screen sorcery. Lees meer

Through Hilary and Stephen's relationship we get two awful tropes – the white saviour and the magic negro, with each serving to rescue the other. Lees meer
