Silence
In a mission that seems realistic and exciting to two Catholic missionaries. Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver went to Japan for their real journey, which is a real test of their faith and religious power. They both travel to Japan to search for their missing teacher, Liam Neeson. This is the most dangerous task in history, a real test of Andrew and Adam because of the ban on the existence of Catholicism at that time and the existence of such people who call it.

Like the resolution of Ted Chiang's Tower of Babylon, there is no answer in inward faith: there's only the outward expression of grace. Silence is a masterpiece.

A brilliant reflection about complex themes that always showed up on Scorsese's films but are approached here in new and beautiful ways. [Full review in Portuguese]

When it comes to both lengthy looks and the questions of faith that inspire them, Silence has many.

It's a real high mass of a film, done with high craft in the highest seriousness.

This may not be Scorsese's best film, but it's unquestionably his most impassioned.

This is exquisite film-making from a master film-maker.

Scorsese's abiding passion and respect for his source material are everywhere in evidence. For once, perhaps, they are a little too great.

Alternately powerful and somnolent.

An epic film about devotion, deception and the consolation of inner spirituality. [Full review in Spanish]

For those not exulted by the inner-workings of devotion, it's a slog.

"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.

Scorsese doesn't glorify martyrdom, and he doesn't even hate the killers. He makes death as blunt and dull and useless as a snapped pencil. The point is that there is no point.
