Very Atmospheric Film on The Subject Of Faith

Rating: 8/10 (17 February 2020)

Silence features some of the most beautiful imagery to be seen in a Scorsese picture and it manages to tell a very fascinating story about faith. It has a very unique mood that is simultaneously haunting, sad and oddly cozy (strange choice of words perhaps). It really draws the viewer into its world and engages you in its characters. The only thing that detracts and distracts in this film is the fact that Driver and Garfield have been given rather inconsistent and distracting, supposedly Portuguese accents, that don't add to the film and seem unnecessary.
Highly recommended to the religious and non-religious alike!
