Notable Critics

""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."
— Richard Brody

"That a film this daringly austere exists in the marketplace is almost miraculous in itself."
— Trevor Johnston
