mariaJan 25, 2017Even on rewatch I'm still unsure what to say about this one other than I already see myself wrestling with it for years to come. Shūsaku Endō’s book itself is a masterpiece, a book about trying to reconcile belief and inquiry, love and cruelty, calm and brutality; and out…

"Go on, then, Rodrigues, pray. But pray with your eyes open." I remember reading a review of this when it came out that dismissively compared it to Shinoda's original adaptation, arguing that Scorsese's emphasis on Endo's rumination on faith came at the expense of the…
Jake ColeSep 9, 2023This is, for me, one of Scorsese's best ever works, if not THE best. Few filmmakers have ever explored spirituality in such a compelling and complex manner. Truly astonishing, and even better on second viewing.
SethsreviewsOct 12, 2024The single most overlooked and underrated Scorsese Brutal and thought provoking doesn’t even come close to describe Silence Just the way it’s shot on location with the most beautiful looking sets is more than enough to etch this movie in my mind like a stone carving…

- Parker Nelson is "meh" onSilence
I wanted to like it so bad. Great director and 3 of my favorite actors all working together to tell a story about Christian missionaries in Japan… you’d think there’s no way that would be boring. But it was. It was an absolute snooze fest. There are movies where they’re slightly boring but the…
nevan likedSilencea christian epic to some degree, scorsese’s original vision was likely a lot bolder on paper before execution. the narrative is pretty powerful alongside some gorgeous shots, but the performances, writing, and overall direction left room for improvement
naethanael dislikedSilenceThe older Scorsese gets, the more long-winded and self-important he becomes. Some of that blame goes to Thelma Schoonmaker, who used to be fantastic but is no longer editing his films effectively. And he needs an effective editor desperately.
- BENNY likedSilence
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.
Justin likedSilenceThis was a very strong but complex film by Martin Scorsese, and while I wouldn’t exactly say that I love it, it still has a lot of strong elements that make this a great movie and probably one that I will need to rewatch.
AlbanianMenace is "meh" onSilenceNot the worst movie ever, good moments here and there. Way too long honestly though, Andrew Garfield was really good per usual. I would recommend it for a watch once, not watching it again any time soon or maybe ever
- Benjamin Nuckolls likedSilence
Albeit a slow building narrative, Silence forces its audience to slow down and experience the story as the characters are. This is a story of faith and struggle and the film allows the audience to feel that too.
BUTTERS likedSilenceReally liked this movie. Actually found it pretty faith promoting. The things they had to go through are unreal. Very well done movie and the story, cinematography, and amazing acting made it a very good watch
Spencer likedSilenceNot 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

Oh my god this was so long. I sighed, I slept, I cried, I lived a whole life in there and it never ended
IWIan WillseyI'm left knowing that God's with me always.
DNDavid NorthropThis historic depiction of catholic missionaries in Japan neither glorifies martyrs or demonizes oppressors of religious freedom; instead it ruminates on the horrors that have occurred in the name of religion, both to spread it and suppress it.

Silence, though conceived on a grand scale, is an almost obsessively personal, at times even private, film.

The movie eventually achieves a level of powerful drama…but only after dithering for more than an hour.

It’s broody and disciplined, soaked in the pungent style of foreign auteurs who molded Scorsese’s own love of film – yet overburdened by a downward spiral lacking fire and unforgiving features.
