I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

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.!

Although I'm not religious, I was really waiting for this movie as Iove history and Scorsese movies. It is so boring, we couldn't even finish it. And the only thing it tells you that religion kills people. It did in the past and will do so in the future. You can't relate to any of the characters as they are all extremely stupid, although acting is very good. This is the only reason I gave it 2 instead of 1.

After feeling like Scorsese had nothing left other than corny cliched swan songs I was struck by Silence. What can I say about this. Something so majestic and thoughtful.It moved me to my core. The images still flow through me. Swells and flows.Thank you for this stunning work!

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!
