Leave your thoughts about Conspiracy of Silence.
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenA gripping drama embracing the film-maker's belief that priests should be allowed to marry (as they had been allowed during the first 11 centuries of Church history). |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsDonald J. LevitThis controversial thriller does not go beyond polemic. |
| Film ThreatBob WestalIt's not often that a film changes history, but it's just possible that Irish writer-director John Deery's righteously energetic Conspiracy of Silence just might help alter the course of 21st century Catholicism. |
| CinemaBlendMichael BrodyDoes not profess to answer the question of celibacy; it merely asks it. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatConspiracy of Silence is a thoughtful drama about some of the formidable challenges faced by reform-minded Catholics who dare to question the tradition of celibacy. |
| NewsdayJan StuartFor a salting of sex and foul language, John Decry's investigative thriller plays like third-tier P.D. James adapted for TV. |
| New York TimesAnita GatesDeery's modest drama is one big, obvious argument against the vow of celibacy for Roman Catholic priests, but it has heart. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseConspiracy of Silence is well-meaning but has has no faith in its audience. |
| South Florida Sun-SentinelLaura KellyThe kind of film that has its heart in the right place: exposing corruption. But it loses credibility by doing so in a melodramatic way. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittThe story meanders, but the subject is timely and important. |
