The film requires an investment from audiences that it more than repays.

One of the finest filns of the year and absolutely worthy of many repeated viewings.

One sequence, soundtracked almost entirely by rainfall, is an exquisite metaphorical display of emotional tumult.

Silent Light keeps its audience wondering about our desires, about how our own guilt may slowly be eating away at an otherwise beautiful existence.
