This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The movie is good but very average and exaggerated with average performance and a very good one by Garfield. The whole atmosphere of it was perfect but the movie had a lot of problems that I felt someone is talking not a cinematic movie where a lot of scenes where taking too much time of the movie while we could move to it's end and the skipped parts didn't contain any good details. Also the whole silence Idea was presented by the good screenplay and muting the sound in some parts but the whole meaning was very bad and not intelligently presented too. I have to say a good movie I rather not to watch again. 6.5/10 and respected for it's effort.

I am a Christian and love religious dramas, and this is my favorite along with "The Star" and "The Last Temptation of Christ", which is from the same director. It's great that the director of Casino and The Wolf of Wall Street decided to do a profanity free devout movie. I wrote all of this a while back and decided I needed to rewrite the rest. Like I said, this is my favorite movie, with 2 others tied. If I had to pick one of the 3, it is easily Silence. Now why do I love it more than other movie I have watched? I could go on forever with that, it would be longer than the movie(160 minutes.) In short, it's a thought provoking look at faith. Go on YouTube and watch the 43 minute YouTube video: "The Movie Proposal Episode 12: Silence." Skye Jethani will help me out there. See Silence. It is fantastic. I literally could not stop praising it. A+, gold star, 10/10, etc.!

Scorsese's movie is a remake of a much greater Japanese classical film and it is based on a Japanese novel. As in "The Departed", Scorsese makes a remake of an Asian movie without being true to the main theme of the original one.
It is incredible how you create an adaption of "Chinmoku" with a happy ending. The movie is not about that. The entire story is a philosophical question about whether Jesus himself would have apostatized in that situation. The main idea is not to answer the question but to make the audience think about it. Scorsese answer the question himself and completely destroyed the main idea behind the movie.

There are two ways to review this movie:1. Cinematografic POV: The film is quite long so there are scenes that are "little boring" or repeating. Acting is quite good but I got the feeling that it could be beter or maybe more emphasized. Photography and scenes are great, real, but not spectacular. Rating 72. Plot/Story POV: maybe all of the "negative" impressions stated in above comment were intended so that the focus would be on the story! It happened to me while watching the movie that when I thought the scene was "boring", too long, repeating, not spectacular .. that immediatelly made me change the focus on the whole story - you are constantly forced to think about the meaning of the religion, existence, beliefs,.... And this is great!! It is very powerful and meaningful movie so don't be mislead by those who just watch movies for entertainment and give bad reviews. Sometimes we have to consider that the movie does not have to be great from all points of view to be excellent.... Rating: 9Btw, I am an atheist and from my point of view it made me even more convinced about my feelings. I think that some religions has provoked too much damage in the history of the humanity, it has lost its true nature and it is misused.But nevertheless, i enjoyed the movie and I sincerelly respect Scorsese for his effort and also for his beliefs!
