5/10
Whats in the box?
8 April 2018
I've never liked art house all that much. For me its akin to taking more interest in the wrapping at the expense of whats actually in the box.

Personal introspective with a art house meets martial arts make over The Empty Hands reaffirms that reservation. Its a visually interesting film helped in in no small part, by a decent cast and story.

What muddies the waters is the obsessive use of visuals as the film draws to its conclusion. The result is a diffuse experience that leaves the viewer feeling like they have been handed a road map whilst standing in the middle of a desert.

Suffice to say, sometimes a picture is "not" worth a thousand words. 5/10 from me.
