Review of Silence (2016) by Brent_Marchant — 06 Jan 2017
Despite gorgeous cinematography, a fine supporting performance by Liam Neeson, and a handful of moderately interesting spiritual and historical political discussions, this tedious, overlong saga is largely an exercise in religious self-importance and excessively sincere overacting.
Whatever points director Martin Scorsese wanted to make are obscured or diluted amidst a story line that lacks focus, direction and continuity of tone. It may not be a great film, but it certainly makes a good cure for insomnia.
