Oh my god this was so long. I sighed, I slept, I cried, I lived a whole life in there and it never ended

Great movie .

I'm left knowing that God's with me always.

Not for the general audience but if you consider yourself a fan of film go out and support this film

Please, don't see this movie.

This 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.

This was powerful film

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.
