Deeply felt if not always convincing, the sophomore feature (the director's first, Las Lloronas, was in 2004) has the otherworldly flavor that sometimes accompanies very low-budget productions, and in this case rides that vibe further than its script might deserve.

While Silencio could be fascinating sci-fi, it’s bogged down in all the family drama.

This movie dives head head-first in deep topics that makes the audience reflect.

Simply Brilliant! Silencio perfectly balances action and drama with some sci-fi.

It's one of the year's most convoluted original screenplays, but is probably best taken as a test in plot summarizing.

A sci-fi/ghost story mashup, it’s got nonsensical science, unemotional actors and direction that can’t be called that in any meaningful sense of the word. It’s head-slappingly stupid, a waste of time and scenery and an embarrassment to all concerned.

This turgid fantasy thriller, boasting scant thrills or imagination, douses a mystic time-travel concept with soap operatic hand-wringing to mawkishly unconvincing effect.

Anyone happening to come across Silencio should just as well move on: There’s nothing to see here.

A brilliant take on time travel and its consequences. This movie is certainly Lorena Villarreal’s opus magnum.

Ambitious but incredibly incompetent and incoherent. It entangled itself and while it tries, it never takes off.
