Silence Ratings & Reviews
MTV
Amy Nicholson
Scorsese doesn't glorify martyrdom, and he doesn't even hate the killers. He makes death as blunt and dull and useless as a snapped pencil. The point is that there is no point.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Alternately powerful and somnolent.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
For those not exulted by the inner-workings of devotion, it's a slog.
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
Not all so-called passion projects are able to convey actual passion on screen. This one does. Silence feels like both an ardent reaffirmation of faith and a lonely cry out to God in the dark.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
This may not be Scorsese's best film, but it's unquestionably his most impassioned.
The Atlantic
Christopher Orr
Scorsese's abiding passion and respect for his source material are everywhere in evidence. For once, perhaps, they are a little too great.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Silence is a troubling, emotion-fueled enigma, and only through additional viewings do I believe an understanding of what it is Scorsese is attempting to say will ever be determined.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
This movie about silence is at its best in the verbal jousting on faith, culture, truth, and power.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
What beauty. What brutality. What madness.
Chicago Reader
Tal Rosenberg
The film can be ponderous in its rumination and ambiguity, but few cinematic treatments of Christianity and sanctity have been as generous or as intellectually challenging as Silence.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Silence is Scorsese's mode of sharing the Holy Communion. To that, every cinephile will say, "Amen."
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
It sure takes [Scorsese] long enough to drive [his] point home - putting the film's audience through its own kind of torture - but the morale of his story is ultimately both tough and nuanced.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Scorsese has lived with his love of this material for a long time. Maybe too long.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
There is a fair amount of repetition here, and the film is too long (two hours and 41 minutes). But it is also gorgeous, stunningly so, and powerful.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
As a work of craft, "Silence" is unparalleled. As a work of spirit, it aches with sincerity. As a work of art, it feels as though it hasn't fully left its maker's head.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It's a strange case, a movie about spiritual doubt that unintentionally provokes spiritual doubt. "Silence" is just ugly and drab, with not a hint of the transcendent about it.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
Scorsese's adaptation is overlong and at times insufferably self-indulgent but contains sublime moments of transcendent beauty and a wealth of beautiful performances.
Seattle Times
Soren Andersen
The very nature of belief itself is at the heart of "Silence."
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
"Silence" is only a near-great film, one in which the very power of its subject-and of Scorsese's devotion to it-appears largely to restrain his distinctive artistry.
CBR
Kristy Puchko
Scorsese takes a big gamble with the patience and faith of his audience.
