Leave your thoughts about Silo.
| Movie NationRoger MooreSilo is a quietly gripping “trouble in farm country” thriller. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakThe After School Special vibe at the back of Marshall Burnette’s Silo isn’t a bug. It’s a feature. Because beyond creating a captivatingly suspenseful premise with which to build a plot, grain entrapment is a significant enough issue to demand a path towards awareness as much as cinematic entertainment. |
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerThat Silo centers around the people of the town is what differentiates it from a media satire like Ace in the Hole, and places it alongside The Straight Story, God's Own Country, and Minari: films that feel like studies of rural life. |
| RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyThe shooting is picturesque, the acting overbaked. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayBurnette handles the genre film and the art film pieces of Silo fairly well but shortchanges them both by not committing fully to either. |
| Paste MagazineJacob OllerThere’s a very scary, thrilling, insightful movie to be made about these kinds of accidents and the people they happen to. Silo isn’t it. |
| The New York TimesBen KenigsbergIf Burnette’s formal instincts are suboptimal — the pervasive backlighting and underlighting keep much of the action in shadow — his dramatic instincts are worse. |
| User ReviewCharlieBrown123First movie I have seen in theaters in 15 months. What an experience! Very impressive for a first time director. Grain entrapments are no joke. Silo captures it beautifully. |
| User ReviewEliot_R"SILO" feels more like a documentary than a feature. The actors give very lived-in performances that make the characters seem like people you've known all your lives. The reviews that complain about how the relationships aren't fully clear miss the point — this is that rare movie that doesn't stop and spell everything out for the viewer. Rather, it invites you into the world as a guest. |
