Full Plot Details

An Indonesian man with a communist background named Ramli was brutally murdered when the "Communist" purge occurred in 1965. His remaining family members lived in fear and silence until the making of this documentary. Adi, a brother of his, decided to revisit the horrific incident and visited the men who were responsible for the killings and one survivor of the purge. These meetings uncovered sadistic details of the murders and exposed raw emotions and reactions of the killers' family members about what happened in the past - much to Adi's disappointment.

Movie Reviews

Seven Days - 10/10 by Margot HarrisonUnlike many documentaries on unpleasant subjects, Silence isn't an ordeal you undergo for the information value. It's no upbeat experience, but it is always absorbing, and it is sometimes disturbingly beautiful.
Financial Times - 10/10 by Nigel AndrewsIt could crawl under your skin. It could crawl into your soul, you almost feel, and lay eggs.
Philadelphia Daily News - 10/10 by Gary ThompsonAdi's central question - Why? - is never answered, but that doesn't really feel like a flaw in Look of Silence.
New Statesman - 10/10 by Ryan GilbeyJust because The Look of Silence is a quiet film, that doesn't mean every corner of it isn't filled with screams.
Little White Lies - 10/10 by Sophie Monks KaufmanAn anguished tribute to those that suffer brutal injustice abstractly and in the particular devastating scheme of this film.
Daily Express (UK) - 10/10 by Henry FitzherbertThe predominant feeling is "the past is the past", even from traumatised survivors, but this powerful film ensures it will not be forgotten.
Globe and Mail - 10/10 by Liam LaceyThe stories the perpetrators tell are hideous, but Adi proves to be a calm and unrelenting interrogator, even in the face of direct death threats.
The Young Folks - 10/10 by Josh CabritaOppenheimer is a poet-journalist. He uses metaphors from true situations to affect us deeper. He uses symbols in real life to unveil injustice.
Time Out - 10/10 by Joshua RothkopfA superior work of confrontational boldness, it might be the movie Oppenheimer wanted to make in the first place.
Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Kenneth TuranA shocking and significant film, a further illumination of one of recent history's great horrors, a documentary that will make a difference in the world. It is also an exceptionally difficult film to actually watch.
