Sokol and Lorna, two Albanian emigrants in Belgium, dream of leaving their dreary jobs to set up a snack bar. They need money, and a permanent resident status. Claudy is a junkie - he needs money to satisfy his addiction. Andrei, the cigarette smuggler, must hold up for a while outside Russia; he has loads of money. Fabio, the Italian taxi driver and aspiring gang boss, elaborates a clever scheme: he will pay Claudy to marry Lorna so that she acquires a Belgian citizenship. Then she is to re-marry Andrei, who will in this way obtain the coveted EU passport - and pay a hefty price to Fabio and Lorna for the service. Like all plans, this one will not survive the contact with reality.
Leave your thoughts about Lorna's Silence.
| SlateDana StevensSomething between a love story and a religious morality tale. The hauntingly ambiguous last scene, in which Lorna finds a place of temporary respite from the economic forces that have determined so much of her life, may be the saddest happy ending I've ever seen. |
| Time OutDave CalhounBy the time 'The Silence of Lorna' reaches its quiet, unusual, reflective finale, the film feels almost spiritual in its investigation of a lost soul. |
| OregonianMarc MohanAmong the Dardennes' more accessible films, despite a drawn-out finale that still doesn't quite satisfy. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertRenier’s performance is the best thing in the movie, although all the actors, cast partly for their faces, are part of creating this desperate world. |
| Time OutKeith UhlichA soul-crushing weight rests upon Lorna (Dobroshi), the Albanian-immigrant heroine of the Dardenne brothers' stunning proletarian character study. |
| Seanax.comSean AxmakerIt's a classic Dardennes morality tale set in the grim, hard-scrabble world between working class hardship and black market hustle... |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin...less a character study than the apparent breaking-in of a camera crew on a sad and sordid life. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertBelgian filmmaking brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne have become festival darlings with rigorously minimal ethical thrillers. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)It's not the Dardennes' best work, but if you're not familiar with their films, this is an audience-friendly one to start with. |
| PopMattersCynthia FuchsEven as the camera follows Lorna, it never quite keeps up, though it's unclear whether she's eluding your interpretation or her own. |
