Reviews
Word of mouth might generate some excitement about the film's many poetic, sensuous and sincere qualities.
The movie's one genuine tragedy is so obviously announced and reannouced that you get tired waiting for it to happen.
Beyond Silence' is one of those films that helps us escape our box of time and space and understand what it might be like to live in someone else's.
