[13]Cast: Tom Brooke, Olivia Colman, Colin Firth, Toby Jones, Crystal Clarke, Tanya Moodie, Hannah Onslow Empire of Light is a sweet, heartfelt, humane movie, which doesn’t shy away from the brutality and the racism that was happening in the streets outside the cinema: the Empire is showing Stir Crazy starring Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder, directed by Sidney Poitier – a message of diversity, if 1981 Britain cared to listen. It’s clearly a labour of love for Sam Mendes: love requited.

What people are saying about Empire Of Light

Empire of Light premiered at the Telluride Film Festival on 3 September 2022. [15] It received a limited theatrical release by Searchlight Pictures in the United States on 9 December 2022 and was released theatrically in the United Kingdom on 9 January 2023. [16] [17] The film arrives on Digital platforms in the United States on February 7th 2023, and Blu-ray and DVD on February 21st 2023, with never-before-seen bonus content featuring Sam Mendes and the cast that uncovers the story’s origins and the director’s love of cinema. The film will also be released on HBO Max in the United States on the same day and a day later on Disney+ in Canada. Sure it looks pretty, I mean it’s Deakins, but it’s tonally lost in a sea of half baked characters and ideas. Colman is good, Micheal Ward is great, but Empire of Light struggles to find its voice resulting in the most aggressively okay movie of the year.
