3.5/5

The Silences is a narrative of discovery, but it doesn't trade in startling revelations or reversals: it is judicious, thoughtful, resonant.

3.5/5

Nash charts anguish, genealogy and domestic routines (along with her prior works) so that they intertwine into twinned life stories. It's a tender, knowing and evocative work.

3/5

Filmmaker Margot Nash digs deep into the backstories of her parents and sisters to discover the truth behind her uncomfortable childhood. Using archival material, The Silences is a lyrical, sometimes haunting assemblage of what she found.
