Not silent enough !

Rating: 6/10 (2 July 1999)

I don't think that this movie is as good as everybody says. Where are the silent lambs ? Jonathan Demme seems not to know what real silence is ! Sometimes reality turns out to be crueler than any fiction can be. Jodie Foster is a very good actress, but she is not tough enough. I'm sure that there are better actresses to play this part. To name them here wouldn't help, I guess. Anyway, the movie was very boring and I didn't get nightmares like a classmate of my son. The story would have been more appealing if some Russian agents had been involved. This would guarantee real SILENCE. Believe me, I have experienced real silence...
