2/4
There is one little problem with the Argentine drama Empty Nest, an all-too-convincing film about a man suffering from a middle-aged malaise: Nothing of interest happens. Go to Full Review Jason Anderson Toronto Star 07/03/2009
2.5/4
Burman's fifth feature is too slight and uneven to fully satisfy, even though it does have much of the same wit and insight as Lost Embrace and Family Law, two previous films that earned the director many comparisons to Woody Allen. Go to Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 05/01/2009
2.5/5
In the end, it all can't help feeling a little slight, more a pleasant wade into a writer's neurotic playground than a satisfyingly deep dip. Go to Full Review Liz Braun Jam! Movies 07/03/2009
3/5
Empty Nest is light in tone and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, and the humour is generally subtle and grown up. Go to Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Film-Forward.com 05/05/2009
8/10
A leisurely, genial look at a man escaping from his insecurities into a surreal fantasy life, keeping the audience guessing what is real, until he floats into maturity. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

01/04/2014 As his "Lost Embrace". So so. See more 07/26/2012 Burman, OM, CR... genial! See more 03/26/2012 This drama needs more work. It's a story about a drama that a middle-aged argentinean couple faces when their kids have grown up and left home. However, the director wasn't able to explote correctly the crisis that a man and a woman can face at those moments. I found it a little bit forced and lame and plain See more 11/27/2011 Un buen retazo de cine y soberbias actuaciones. Aun asi, le falta un "hervor"... See more 03/29/2010 empty nest is an EMPTY FILM. See more 09/06/2009 Good movie to think about life. Its a kind of movie on which you predict nothing and is a movie about the everyday life. I meant you see people doing usual things most of the time. The most fascinating part is that you have to make the story with the little clues it gives you. See more Read all reviews
