The Silencing | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com One does feel one's seen all this before. Rated: 2/4 Aug 14, 2020 Full Review The Silencing | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Peter Travers Rolling Stone In this stale thriller, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau plays a alcoholic hunter who tries to catch a serial killer of teen girls. Even in these troubled times, when we all hunger for escapism, this long journey to a lame ending hardly fills the bill. Rated: 2/5 Aug 14, 2020 Full Review The Silencing | Rotten Tomatoes (3) David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a solid thriller that benefits from Coster-Waldau’s stirring (and sympathetic) performance and a compelling, surprising narrative... Rated: 3/4 Dec 3, 2023 Full Review The Silencing | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Clement Tyler Obropta Film Inquiry The Silencing is an underseen, underrated film that knows why its tropes work and stick to its guns. Nov 12, 2022 Full Review The Silencing | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut Well made but essentially dull crime drama: nothing we haven't seen before. Rated: 2/5 Feb 11, 2021 Full Review The Silencing | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Johnny Loftus Decider Ultimately, The Silencing doesn't say anything much at all. Jan 11, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
