| The Hollywood ReporterNeil YoungSilver Tongues isn't a film that ever tries to be especially palatable. Its cynicism is of an unusually bitter, even nihilistic flavor, in the vein of early Neil Labute. This leaves an intriguing, memorable but naggingly unpleasant aftertaste. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisFilled with joyless people in drab rooms (Josh Silfen's grubby cinematography doesn't make things any cheerier), Silver Tongues takes a novel idea and uses it to jerk us around. Swirling with unease, its scenes set us up for a payoff that never materializes and strand its actors in a bitter present. |
| Slant MagazineKalvin HenelySilver Tongues is the creation of a filmmaker who's not an acute observer, but a trickster, one who values being clever for the sake of being clever. |
| User ReviewMichael NA fully fleshed out of Milan Kundera's "The Hitchhiking Game." Just even more devastating. It's as perfect as it gets with performances that are beyond anything else you'll ever see. |
| User Reviewindiemovie"Nothing is what it seems to be in SILVER TONGUES... Writer-director Simon Arthur, whose affinities for sociopathic antics evoke the psychological mousetraps of Neil LaBute and David Mamet, maintains suspense with unyielding dramatic momentum." - Steve Dollar, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL "A cynical, ice-cold tease... Clever and well acted..." - Jeanette Catsoulis, THE NEW YORK TIMES ... "A really well-crafted psychological drama, made with terrific technical flair: clearly influenced by David Mamet but nonetheless very distinctive and supremely watchable."- Peter Bradshaw, THE GUARDIAN "An impressively dark and deranged tale of scams, manipulation and sexual control" - Mark Adams, Screen International "Deliciously evil... Brilliant" - Stars and Popcorn "Compelling" - Eric Kohn, indieWIRE "A must see film" - thedropp. |
| User ReviewSteve HSilver Tongues is a film that captures your attention from the start and does not release it till the very end! Dark, tense and very ironic, it is one of the most original plots I have ever seen on screen.The story follows a man and a woman as they go around testing the human condition and making people question themselves, their beliefs, and those they profess to know. The road of destruction that they carve causes the audience to wonder where they will turn next and what fate they will fall victim to. The acting is amazing and the story is constantly keeping you guessing what will happen next even though it is impossible to even start finding out what the next move is. I highly recommend it! |
| User ReviewAdam ESeen at the 2011 Florida Film Festival. A biting, incendiary feature debut for Simon Arthur. You can't keep your eyes off of Lee Tergesen and Enid Graham, who fully embody these vicious characters in every frame. This will leave you surprised and with plenty of food for thought. Easily the best movie I've seen so far this year. |
| User ReviewBrendan MA not very well heard of film that all film fans should see if they get the chance. |
| User ReviewBen HFollow this sick couple as they travels and played havoc on other people lives with their mind games... |
| User ReviewRenee LCharacter actors, who, in my opinion are some of the best actors around, are finally given the chance to ace leading roles in this unsettling film about a sociopathic, deeply cruel couple who somehow manage to blend in with the rest of the world. It is powerfully icky, but you won't be able to look away. The director's skill in this movie is in making mental torture every bit as gruesome as anything physical. |
