RATED: Silence is rated MA15+ for Strong violence
AUDIENCE: Silence is directed by Martin Scorsese and will probably be reckoned as one of his best-executed pieces, so it’s a must for film buffs as well as lovers of historical cinema
WHAT’S GOOD: Andrew Garfield, Adam Driver and Liam Neeson put in incredible performances, as do their lesser-known Japanese co-stars.
WHAT’S NOT: Silence is long – 161 minutes to be precise, so be prepared for a significant evening
SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING: Possibly the best Christian film ever to be produced by a secular Hollywood. The consideration of God’s silence is incredibly nuanced, as is the examination of our responsibilities in the face of persecution. Should we stand up publicly for Jesus, or cultivate a quiet witness when death could be the outcome for speaking.
