Scorsese's underrated masterpiece.

Rating: Null/10 (22 June 2019)

Martin Scorsese's "Silence" is one of the most impressive and rewarding films from the last few years, and it should definitely receive more recognition.
The performances are brave and nuanced, with especially Andrew Garfield being the standout as he delivers what can only be called one of the best performances of 2016. Liam Neeson and Adam Driver also prove to be perfect additions to an already perfect cast.
The atmosphere is so rich. The elements of discussion are interesting and provide a lot of opportunities for further exploration into the subjects investigated. Scorcese's direction, Prieto's cinematography ... I could probably go on and on, but everything about this film is perfect. It has taken me a second viewing to really get invested into this and appreciate it, but now I can't keep myself from thinking about this film over and over again.
It's an absolute masterpiece and a rarity in modern cinema; a testament to what film can be capable of.
