Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Silence (2013)

A girl vanishes, her bicycle abandoned in the same spot that another girl went missing more than two decades prior.

Gary said “this would’ve made a good miniseries” and he’s right. The characters were rich and the story was involving, but it felt like I was juggling a lot of information and I would’ve welcomed two 1.5 hour installments rather than a 2-hour movie to give things a little breathing room. Definitely would have been great as a “Prime Suspect” type thing.

B+
