Don’t watch it, it will unnecessarily piss you off. Excellent film, otherwise.

The Koreans once again reached to the world cinematography and all those movies that record the stigmata of the nation and once again moved it to another, yet unexplored direction. Everyone should agree with me that it is so considering just the premise. During watching it I was feeling very unwell. Moreover I had a feeling that justice and judicial system in South Korea don’t exist at all. That’s the only way to explain what was happening in this movie. Indifference, anger, hatred – all of those are present in this movie. If you ever complain about the judicial system of your country, having a feeling that you have been wronged, you should watch this movie. You have never seen such an injustice.

Silenced has such a strong story that it almost overshadows all the other qualities of the film (and there are plenty). It gave me goosebumps and I felt a huge sense of helplessness with them. The most important part of it, of course, is the human side of it, and the fact that something like this can happen at all. And any film that can point to something like that and move people's hearts with its treatment deserves an award. But as I said, the film has other qualities as well. The child acting is incredible, Yoo Gong is as always a quality actor (at least for me), and that beautiful chilling music... 5 stars

Well, that was one unsettling movie. I'm not naive about how a civilized society operates, but when it's presented to me so starkly, it still manages to shake me. The filmmakers here tackled a theme that is, unfortunately, all too relevant. From its unquestionable position of authority, the theme feels even more chilling and dangerous. The Koreans really got under my skin with their portrayal, evoking a lot of uncomfortable feelings. It's clear they went about it the right way. / Lesson learned: If you have an appetite for very young prey, either seek help or get yourself castrated.
