      Tara Brady Hot Press Wonderfully humane, even-handed and quietly joyful. Aug 22, 2018 Full Review Ronnie Scheib Variety Assured helming by newcomer Maeve Murphy, unflagging pace, well-developed characters, and strong perfs throughout make for a solid if slightly old-fashioned meller. Jul 6, 2010 Full Review William Thomas Empire Magazine Writer-director-producer Maeve Murphy's techniques are still chained to the theatre; some touches are unsubtle and she allows too much fluctuation across the performances. Rated: 2/5 Apr 1, 2006 Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times The performances have a conviction that still commands attention. Rated: 3/5 Aug 22, 2018 Full Review Michael Dwyer Irish Times The first feature film written, produced and directed by Maeve Murphy, Silent Grace is an effectively low-key and slow-burning treatment of events that have faded into history. Rated: 3/5 Oct 3, 2017 Full Review Anton Bitel Projected Figures This sensitive reflection on the climate of 1980s Northern Ireland, equally relevant to the 'War on Terror', is a quietly subtle drama exploring how easily humanity can get locked away during conflicts which admit no compromise.
