One has to be prepared for the fact that it's very slow. It takes its time getting to where it's going and it's very meditative and ruminative... But it's a terrific movie.

The final four minutes turn what was already a fine picture into an unforgettable one, affirming Morchhale's status as one of the most exciting figures of the Indian new wave.

Rated: 3/4

Widow of Silence’s characters communicate little because the core of human existence is on the verge of death. It’s the humanization of the unfamiliar that makes the characters feel so exceptionally real, and viewers will likely see parts of themselves...
