This isn't entertainment; it's literature on film. Very faithful to its source material, Silence is riveting for its dissonance and unsettling way of asking difficult questions—for believers and nonbelievers alike—yet offering no answers. It's part of the reason it can feel a bit longer than it needs to be; the entire purpose is your discomfort. Are there cultures where Christianity as you know it simply doesn't work? Does apostatizing make Jesus happier if it saves innocent lives? Would you rather be Rodrigues or Kichijiro? The answers, if you find any, should challenge you.
