Review of Silence (2016) by Moviemitch96 — 13 Jan 2017

While it's far from being Scorsese's best film, this is still one of the more powerful and quietly unflinching films from 2016 that I've seen. The impressive cinematography is wonderful to watch and much of the imagery is quite impactful and memorable.

As for the cast, Andrew Garfield delivers yet another brilliant performance after Hacksaw Ridge. Adam Driver and Liam Neeson in supporting turns also manage to make the film worthwhile. Overall, its length and heavy-handed faith-based message may prove as turn-offs and controversial for many.

However, for those with the patience and fortitude to give it a shot, it's certainly not to be missed, especially for fans of Scorsese as he still proves that he's not quite out of touch with brilliant filmmaking just yet, even at his current age.
