Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The Dardennes are masters of their brand of realist cinema. Over the years, the brothers' move from documentaries to narrative features has been handsomely rewarded.
– Lisa Kennedy,
Denver Post,
28 Aug 2009
fresh:
The story within Lorna's Silence is built on tiny increments of tantalizing details, meted out in penurious droplets and with chest-tightening tension that suggests that what the brothers wanted to be when they grew up were boa constrictors.
– John Anderson,
Washington Post,
28 Aug 2009
fresh:
In casting the previously unknown Dobroshi, the brothers approach greatness with their lean portrait of simple humanity tested by desire and driven desperate by circumstances.
– Peter Howell,
Toronto Star,
28 Aug 2009
fresh:
As filmmakers, the Dardennes are more concerned with probing the causes of crime than in glamorizing it.
– Calvin Wilson,
St. Louis Post-Dispatch,

rotten:
Lorna's Silence doesn't work, but it's a beautiful misfire.
