Leave your thoughts about Silent Souls.
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsRife with earthy details and poetic associations, the movie often advances like a daydream. |
| San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisA mystical masterpiece about a lonely man who helps a widower perform last rites for his wife, is an astonishing, haunting, sensual, lyrical, bleak and ultimately beautiful road-trip movie. |
| The NationStuart Klawans[Silent Souls] is whimsical, melancholy and utterly beautiful. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrSilent Souls is a road movie, a guy movie, a treatise on burial customs in northern Russia. Mostly it's a sigh at the way entire cultures can slip away in the flow of time. It's lovely and slow and melancholic and short - 75 minutes, yet you feel you've been gone for an epoch or two. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Mark DemetriusA resonant, lyrical and beautifully realised cinematic experience. |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonAn eternal love story on the frozen plains of Russia told as two friends journey on a wake in the ancient Merjan tradition. |
| Little White LiesLaurence BoyceAn incredibly moving and masterfully controlled experience. |
| Time OutCath ClarkeA meditation on death and sex, it's a melancholy and touchingly profound folk tale, though also deeply weird in places - pagan vajazzling, anyone? |
| Village VoiceJ. HobermanDour yet affirmative, this laconic, deliberately paced, beautifully shot movie seeks the archaic in the ordinary - and, though somewhat off-putting in its diffidence, largely succeeds. |
| Empire Magazine AustralasiaEd GibbsThe finale may leave some unfulfilled, but this is an intuitive visual essay that begs to be experienced. |
