Why do so many men struggle to show their feelings? Part therapy, part road trip, BAFTA award winning filmmaker Duncan Cowles asks men how they open up in order to directly address his own difficulties in being intimate and open with his loved ones. With profound honesty and deadpan wit, SILENT MEN intertwines awkward conversations and the filmmaking process, asking what makes men tick, and more importantly, how to come to terms with all aspects of health, both physical and mental. Exploring aspects of masculinity that all too often are little discussed, this film opens the door for other ways of being, communicating and healing, as well as attempting to define masculinity.

Phil Hoad Guardian [Duncan Cowles] deserves credit not just for facing his own inhibitions in his debut full-length film, but for broaching the vast, ever more discussed, but still maddeningly nebulous topic of men’s mental health – and in an ingeniously light way. Rated: 3/5 Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) Cowles is funny, light and smart enough to puncture the film with playful fourth-wall nonsense... Rated: 3/5 Nov 18, 2024 Full Review Alistair Harkness Scotsman Silent Men takes an amusingly droll approach to tackling the stigma of men opening up about their feelings. Rated: 4/5 Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Scott Wilson Loud and Clear Reviews Cowles’ film is a triumph precisely because it expresses something real about men’s relationship with their own interiority and how it manifests outwardly.
