Silenced 2011
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Gong Yoo delivers one of his most heartbreaking performances, portraying the helplessness of someone trying to fight a system built to crush the truth. But the true heart of the film is the children—played with such raw, painful authenticity that it’s almost unbearable to watch at times.
There’s nothing easy about Silenced. It’s not just a film; it’s a call to action. And in South Korea, it actually worked—the public outcry after its release led to real-life legal reforms. Few movies have that kind of power. Few movies deserve that kind of power.
It will break you. But it’s a story that must be told.

At its core, it’s about Gloria (Lola Dueñas), a lonely woman who falls hopelessly for Michel (Laurent Lucas), a conman…

The Silence 2010
The film starts with an act of brutal violence: a young girl, Pia, is murdered in a field on a hot summer day, echoing an eerily similar crime that took place decades earlier. What follows isn’t a traditional whodunit, because we already know who did it. Instead, The Silence is more concerned with the emotional wreckage left behind—the grief, the guilt, and the eerie way trauma ripples through time.
The performances are raw, particularly from the grieving parents, whose pain…
