Elliot (West Liang, FBI: Most Wanted, Atypical, Rebel) is desperate to reconcile with his estranged wife, Julie (Amy Tsang, Love Shot, Kung Fu). Determined, he drives across a barren desert road to reach her, hoping he can convince her to give him a second chance. Stopping at a roadside motel, he reaches out to a surprised Julie, who informs him she has moved on. At a loss for his next move, Elliot falls into a downward spiral and, when he encounters the sultry Greta (Tsang in a dual role)--an uncanny woman on the run from a mysterious past--strange and mysterious occurrences begin to haunt him. As the shadowy line between reality and dark fantasy becomes increasingly blurred, Elliot questions his own sanity and seeks the truth.... But will he regret finding the answer?

Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 10/29/2022
There’s a strong sense of displacement in “Silent River,” which captures the eerie otherworldliness of liminal spaces like hotels, where everything feels like a slightly off-kilter version of reality. Go to Full Review Sumner Forbes Film Threat 10/25/2022

When a director is trying to make the audience stare at awe in their intelligence and film literacy, without something for an audience to grasp on to then they may quickly lose interest. Go to Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia 10/14/2022

Keith B B @Okbullard 06/18/2025 I wasn't at all impressed with this movie. It was slow, boring and extremely disjointed. I was shocked at the 1st scene where he's driving in the car and the camera shots from all the windows went on for 10 minutes; ridiculous. I shouldn't have paid attention to Rotten 🍅🍅 and followed all the other reviews which were mediocre at best. See more philip l @YoEddy 10/23/2022 A slow-burn, crossing back and forth between real and dreamed. This is a film that is hard to decipher, but on repeated viewings you can discover more details and clues that help you put the puzzle together. Great performances by all of the actors, but particularly the three main characters. Visually beautiful and a soundtrack that plays an important role in the story-telling. See more Read all reviews
