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. Feb 11, 2020 Full Review John DeFore Hollywood Reporter An experiment well suited to our crazy-making times. Dec 6, 2019 Full Review 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 Dec 4, 2019 Full Review 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." Mar 2, 2020 Full Review 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 Jan 13, 2020 Full Review Jon Dieringer Screen Slate Empty Metal attacks big questions with a heavy aesthetic arsenal. Dec 5, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
