Elliot (West Liang, FBI: Most Wanted, Atypical, Rebel) is desperate to reconcile with his estranged wife, Julie (Amy Tsang, Love Shot, Kung Fu). Determined, he drives across a barren desert road to reach her, hoping he can convince her to give him a second chance. Stopping at a roadside motel, he reaches out to a surprised Julie, who informs him she has moved on. At a loss for his next move, Elliot falls into a downward spiral and, when he encounters the sultry Greta (Tsang in a dual role)--an uncanny woman on the run from a mysterious past--strange and mysterious occurrences begin to haunt him. As the shadowy line between reality and dark fantasy becomes increasingly blurred, Elliot questions his own sanity and seeks the truth.... But will he regret finding the answer?

Noel Murray Los Angeles Times There’s a strong sense of displacement in “Silent River,” which captures the eerie otherworldliness of liminal spaces like hotels, where everything feels like a slightly off-kilter version of reality. Oct 29, 2022 Full Review Sumner Forbes Film Threat …this is a film that I’ll remember for a while... Rated: 7/10 Oct 25, 2022 Full Review Joel Fisher Battle Royale With Cheese When a director is trying to make the audience stare at awe in their intelligence and film literacy, without something for an audience to grasp on to then they may quickly lose interest. Oct 19, 2022 Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia Silent River works best when it’s keeping its audience at arm’s length. Oct 14, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Keith B B I wasn't at all impressed with this movie. It was slow, boring and extremely disjointed. I was shocked at the 1st scene where he's driving in the car and the camera shots from all the windows went on for 10 minutes; ridiculous. I shouldn't have paid attention to Rotten 🍅🍅 and followed all the other reviews which were mediocre at best. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/18/25 Full Review philip l A slow-burn, crossing back and forth between real and dreamed. This is a film that is hard to decipher, but on repeated viewings you can discover more details and clues that help you put the puzzle together. Great performances by all of the actors, but particularly the three main characters. Visually beautiful and a soundtrack that plays an important role in the story-telling. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
