Empty

About This Movie

So, 'Empty' is this 2015 short that takes a pretty raw look at Keira's life grappling with an eating disorder. The direction might be a bit under the radar, but that adds to the film's realness, you know? It's not flashy, but it captures this heavy atmosphere and really draws you into her daily struggles. The pacing is deliberate—almost like a slow burn—which lets you sit with her pain and confusion. The performances are quite solid, especially from the lead, who embodies that internal conflict really well. There’s a certain grit to the practical effects too, which enhances the authenticity. It's distinctive, not just for its subject matter, but for how it approaches it without melodrama.
