Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 05/08/2021
The plot in "Silo" ultimately proves too thin, with not enough fleshing out of either the shared history of the characters or the particulars of the extraction. Go to Full Review

The shooting is picturesque, the acting overbaked. Go to Full Review

Sumptuously filmed by Hunter Baker, it's a testament to simple but effective filmmaking. Go to Full Review

4/10
Admirably straightforward in a way that feels absolutely right for these characters. Unfortunately, Silo still feels underdeveloped in its straightforwardness, rendering a simple story sadly stillborn. Go to Full Review

A farm, a silo filled with grain, a teenage worker, an accident - I'm hooked. Go to Full Review

Thankfully, even with its faults, Burnette succeeds in delivering a film that makes us think about the perils farmers endure every day so that we may eat. A lot of thought went into it, and it deserves credit for this, despite its shortcomings. Go to Full Review

Randy R 05/11/2021 8.8 out of 10. Very good film. I enjoyed this beginning to end. I would buy this film 👍👍 See more TaylorlovestrainGmailcom 05/08/2021 I like how the firefighter rescue cody by giving him oxygen for breathing until he was rescued. I also have a episode of 911 where two boys were trapped in a minefield and had to be rescued by the L.A firefighters with a ladder truck. See more Mike B Sep 13 Great moive!!! 5 stars. See more William D Jul 13 Season 1 terrific 9/10. Season 2 episode one, 0/10 utter crap See more Quirky G @Quirky Jan 29 This started like it could be a great sci-fi futuristic series. But the inter-relationships of the characters get bogged down in utter confusion. Each season changes, each episodes introduces new characters and relationships. Viewer never gets any idea or truth if it's safe to go outside. The show hints you can. And the existance of other silos is vague. The rebellion is crude and unimaginable, as well as the characters. The various tips and tricks are confusing, as is the relationships. But the utter failure come in the finale. She gets back to her silo to prevent the Safeguard Solution, only to be confronted by Bernard, who both maybe? perish in the fire. Cut to some past scene years ago, of a totally confusing scene of a blind date, and reference to some Iranian conflict that is "supposed" to explain what happened that created the silos. Total failure of a series. Each episode dragged so much with unimaginable relationships and drama it was hard to watch and stay tuned to. The last coupld episodes picked up some in interest, flashing back and forth between silos which was frustrating and consusing. A total waste of sci-fi series regardless of the book, that could of been an interesing futuristic series. . .but fail! See more Mike T Jan 19 This show had some potential, but it ultimately fell flat. The plot dragged on endlessly, feeling repetitive and lacking in real momentum. The characters felt isolated from each other, with little meaningful interaction or development. While there were a few bright spots, overall the experience was underwhelming.
