Silence (2016)
In a powerful and exciting mission for two Catholic missionaries. Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver will face a real test of their faith and religious power as they travel to Japan to search for their missing teacher from the time of Liam Neeson. Perhaps this will be the strongest test in their lives because Catholicism was banned at that time and the presence of such people was prohibited.

Like the resolution of Ted Chiang's Tower of Babylon, there is no answer in inward faith: there's only the outward expression of grace. Silence is a masterpiece.

This may not be Scorsese's best film, but it's unquestionably his most impassioned.

It's a real high mass of a film, done with high craft in the highest seriousness.

Scorsese doesn't glorify martyrdom, and he doesn't even hate the killers. He makes death as blunt and dull and useless as a snapped pencil. The point is that there is no point.

Scorsese's abiding passion and respect for his source material are everywhere in evidence. For once, perhaps, they are a little too great.

"Silence" feels like a career summation for a filmmaker who has spent his life exploring his faith through his work. Here is a movie about the importance of religion that will move you, regardless of whichever God you worship - or don't.

For those not exulted by the inner-workings of devotion, it's a slog.

Alternately powerful and somnolent.
