Review of Silence (2016) by The3Academysins — 06 Nov 2017

A riveting, complex, deeply profound movie that asks more questions than it answers. Honestly some of Andrew Garfield's best work as an actor and one of Martin Scorsese's best films. An incredible attention to detail, astounding atmosphere and world building, and stunning cinematography make Silence a film you will not soon forget.

If you love film and can get your hands on this one, definitely do so.
