Catey Sullivan

Chicago Reader

Sweitzer and Khalil's style is visceral-spoken language isn't the priority so much as presenting a gut-punch depiction of a world both enraged and exhausted.

An experiment well suited to our crazy-making times.

Carson Lund

Slant Magazine

Adam Khalil and Bayley Sweitzer have fashioned a topical lightning rod with Empty Metal, though not in a manner that suggests willful provocation.

Rated: 3/4

Adina Glickstein

Hyperallergic

It is so aggressively non-totalizing that it stops itself from fully exploring the boldness of its potential claims, settling, instead, for a model of "twitchy, agitated interpassivity."

Laura Jacobs

Film Threat

Khalil and Sweitzer's film is unique, but it remains unclear if it has the power and resonance behind it to take their points outside of the arthouse audience.

Rated: 7/10
