5. …But Do Believe the Review Hype
Throughout his entire career, Martin Scorsese has struggled to make a film that focuses on his faith. As controversial as The Last Temptation of Christ was for example, part of that controversy was due to the fact that it was kind of muddled and weirdly disjointed in a way that made it hard to defend. There’s something about the topic of Christianity that Scorsese simply has a hard time explaining coherently. That’s not the case with Silence. As reviewer Rene Rodriguez wrote in her review for The Miami Herald, “‘Silence’ feels like a career summation for a filmmaker who has spent his life exploring his faith through his work. Here is a movie about the importance of religion that will move you, regardless of whichever God you worship — or don’t.”
