It maintains a refreshingly unsentimental trajectory.

Hidalgo takes us on an interesting journey into the hearts and minds of people who uproot themselves and spin slightly out of control in a new milieu.
Director Federico Hidalgo moves the film at a thoughtful pace and refuses to impose a tidy prefabricated conclusion on his story of marriage and misunderstanding.
[An] intelligent, understated, humanistic film.
Salazar ... pulls the audience over to her corner early on and never lets go of them.
An unimposing film of many a film festival, Federico Hidalgo’s “A Silent Love” is a decent film full of true human emotions
A poor script, occasionally baffling editing, and actors who cannot rise above the various missteps combine to make A Silent Love a messy, confusing debut that more resembles a student film than a theatrical release.
Performed with subtlety and offering no pat resolutions
Steers clear of the emotionally obvious; it's a film that's funny without laughter and sad without tears.
Top CriticRobles and Hidalgo ring enough changes on a stock situation that you're never sure where it's going, and that alone is no mean achievement in a genre as formulaic and enervated as romantic comedy.
Puts an unusual spin on some of the clichés of the romantic comedy.

Top CriticA gentle character study that puts a fresh spin on mother-in-law trouble.
They’re vibrant individuals with minds of their own, which is another way of saying that they only occasionally obey the dictates of Hollywood romantic-comedy convention.
This story of a shy Canadian professor who weds a younger Mexican woman he has met online is not content to be a feel-good intercultural idyll.
Top CriticA Silent Love manages to entertain while saying something about loneliness and culture shock.
