Silence Reviews

holy shit martin scorsese see a therapist

Der Film an sich ist gut gemacht, mir Persönlich zu lange und zu Christlich.

4/10

This was a well made movie but it annoyed the actual shit out of me I had no idea that it was so Christian

Chilling but fantastic

Films that are so focused on faith are always a risky one to make. Often, it feels inevitably catered toward a particular side of the many different religions.

I don’t think Silence falls into that category. Even as a non-religious person, I too felt challenged by film’s themes and portrayals. It poses many questions about morality and the sheer concept of right vs wrong, the film demands to be seen again as there’s so much to unpack and take in on a single viewing.

Easily Andrew Garfield’s best performance, it’s not even close. Very much a solo-led film opposed to the co-lead I assumed it would be alongside Adam Driver, who too was great, albeit with limited screen time. But wow, Liam Neeson was transcendent as the film reaches the final act, so much ambiguity to every word he speaks and every glance he makes - incredible.

Very interesting to watch this after recently watching ShŌgun, seeing Japan go from “unsure” of the Portuguese and Christianity to this war on religion displayed here. A tragic, yet deeply interesting period of history.

I don’t know what to say. I love movies and this was an utter disappointment. Poor character and plot development. No emotional investment in the characters. Acting was erratic. Ending seemed unintentional. And it was twice as long as it needed to be.

It was elite until the end which was literally blasphemous to me… brutal to watch this icl.

2/10

Mixed feelings between scared and loyal, idk idk. I would honestly do the same exact thing Andrew did. 7.8/10

best late stage Martin Scorsese films

Heartbreaking, couldn’t imagine being in the same situation

Not bad! A little slow at times, but a really interesting story with a great Japanese backdrop and a hardcore look at faith through insanely difficult times. Overall, glad I watched for sure.

6.5/10

7/10

Silence is a slow, heavy-hitting film that dives deep into faith, suffering, and moral doubt. It’s beautifully shot and intensely acted, but definitely not an easy watch. Quiet, powerful, and thought-provoking—this one stays with you.

phenomenal. deep. fucking unbelievable. 8.5/10

Very good movie. Makes one think about how faithful you truly are and what that actually means. Loved the sound and cinematography. 8/10
