Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Lorna's Silence is a gritty, deceptively low-key, no-fuss, no-frills movie of consistent originality and surprise in which suspense arises straight up from the heroine's evolving character.
Fresh: It leaves the audience with neither a sense of uplift nor devastation, but, rather, with something more akin to intellectual appreciation.
Fresh: It's a very good film nevertheless, and in Dobroshi it has a face that passes through every conceivable shade of sorrow.
Fresh: The always reliable Dardenne brothers, Jean-Pierre and Luc, the Belgian poets of the underclass, outdo themselves in Lorna's Silence.
