(1 - 7) of 7 OFCS Rating: 57% Rotten Page   1   2/4 "Reygadas, a wonky impressionistic filmmaker, prioritizes aesthetics above social inquiry throughout the film, presenting the lives of his reclusive Mennonite community as something out of the imagination of Grant Wood."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B+ "If the film is effective (as it was for me), we are happy to enjoy the silences, to meditate on the striking visual images, and to share in the thoughts of the characters."   Cinematical   Eric D. Snider 4/5 "A deeply spiritual drama set in rural Mexico about a Mennonite farmer, adultery, and the grace of God."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat "Gorgeous on both a visual and a spiritual level."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick "As suggested by Johan's halting of a pendulum, Silent Light may very well take place across several moments out of time."   House Next Door   Keith Uhlich C- "The near-epitome of art-cinema pretentiousness."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 9/10 "Reygadas doesn't make any particular effort to foreground that story for long stretches at a time, instead focusing on the rhythms of life."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton  (1 - 7) of 7 OFCS Rating: 57% Rotten Page   1
