Critic Reviews

Maggie Lee, Hollywood Reporter
Although the film ultimately achieves its function to expose deep-rooted and far-reaching social injustice,its visceral representation of harrowing and morally repugnant scenes remains unnerving and questionable.

Tom Keogh, Seattle Times
The good that "Silenced" has done certainly outweighs its flaws, but there are certainly some of those: character and plot tropes that pad out the story but have little to do with it.

David Noh, Film Journal International
Unsettlingly graphic but important exposé of the abuse of hearing-impaired children in Korea stirs the emotions in the most elemental way.
