Spoiler

Silence

 

 

 

 

Martin Scorsese’s meditation on religion and what it means to be faithful. This was a passion project for him but unfortunately the audience and the awards bodies were just not on the same page. It does feature Andrew Garfield’s best performance of the year but at almost 3 hours long it is definitely a test of faith watching it in a single sitting as well.

 

 

 

User Reviews:

the rarest of films a legitimate epic dealing with complex themes and shit. in fact it's probably one of the most ideologically dense and complex movies i've ever seen. it's gonna give film academics decades worth of material. i think it's one of those "you get out of it what you put in" kinda deals. militant atheists and christians will have very different reactions to the ending. definitely feels like scorsese has put out the definitive representation of his struggles with faith that comes across in many of his films. can see why it took him 30 years to figure this shit out and even now there's no easy conclusion. 

 

not for everyone though, it's a difficult watch for sure and not one that gives immediate gratification. been thinking about it for a day and that doesn't feel near long enough. right now not the most celebrated film of 2016... but give it a decade. we'll see then.

[75Live]

wow 13-15!  This list has taken a turn, not saying for the worst or for the best, but it definitely has taken a turn  

[misafeco]

Hacksaw Ridge better be in the top 10.

[Arlborn]

Huh, that one was expected considering the weight being the first in a few list must have given it.

We have a problem

I won't complain that Silence should be higher. I'm honestly just happy it's on the list.

RO is gonna be top 10.

[BadAtGender]

Nice for Sing Street. Haven't seen the other two, so I can't comment on how y'all are collectively wrong.

Your Name followed by Singe Street
