Since about 2016, I've started to feel so much pride for my home town.

[@saulleach4781]

Yeah it's been nice seeing Margate and even Ramsgate become nicer and cool small businesses open up

[@georgeetboom7719]

Already seen it with Cineworld advance screenings, was fantastic

Just been to watch Empire Of Light ,brilliant movie 🎞

[@ediekoller1144]

I think Olivia Colman is a great actress like Cate Blanchett and I am American by birth. I have always been a fan of British movies and actors and even TV shows.

Beautiful and a great setting for the story.

[@annrhoads6808]

Would be fabulous if the cinema was reopened.

Shame on you THANET DISTRICT COUNCIL having everything taken down after filming. Would of encouraged more tourists to visit margate. Back to looking an eyesaw once again now

[@georgeetboom7719]

Don’t watch if you don’t want spoilers
