"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.
