      Maggie Lee Hollywood Reporter Although the film ultimately achieves its function to expose deep-rooted and far-reaching social injustice,its visceral representation of harrowing and morally repugnant scenes remains unnerving and questionable. Rated: 3/5 Dec 26, 2011 Full Review Tom Keogh Seattle Times The good that "Silenced" has done certainly outweighs its flaws, but there are certainly some of those: character and plot tropes that pad out the story but have little to do with it. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 3, 2011 Full Review Jae-Ha Kim Jae-Ha Kim (Substack) Based on Gong Ji-young's 2009 novel, "Silenced" is a brutal look at the systematic torture of children at a facility for the hearing impaired. Rated: 3/4 Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 22, 2013 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International Unsettlingly graphic but important expos of the abuse of hearing-impaired children in Korea stirs the emotions in the most elemental way.

      Neringa V This movie is a must see for everyone who like movies that change you by the end. It's so real it hurts… every frame hurts. This is the most difficult movie I have had a pleasure of watching in my entire life and I absolutely recommend it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/24 Full Review Sam E Very moving about both child predators and deaf community Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/04/24 Full Review Luis M.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/15/23 Full Review TORI !! can they at least give me a better ending what the hell was that. i needed the rapists to be tortured like deadasss , he needed to be shredded into pieces , being fed all his organs , cut up, sliced in half with a machine and fed to his twin. i hate this movie yallsuck i wanna rage anyways yuri was my fav we love food #yuh. i fucking hate rapists and hope they all actually get swept away by a tsunami then ate by multiples sharks. or js assaulters yall can go to hell and burn bai guys. dont watch this wack movie cause nah !!!! YALL ALL MUZTYYYYYY Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/24/23 Full Review Gareth D A visceral, unsettling, overtly graphic look at the sexual abuse of vulnerable children. A hard topic to address and executed in a very provocative way. Excellent. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/26/23 Full Review Sky I What an intense, but intriguing film. Goosebumps still run all over my body. What a terrible event. This story hits you right in the heart. This is an event that everyone should know about. This true story may have taken place in the early 2000's, unfortunately things like this still happen. People with money and status who are "protected" by their connections. Fortunately, there are still people fighting against this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
