The Silence of Lorna
By a customer from Tonbridge , 13 Jan 2009[Highly rated reviewer]
The Dardennes are never going to make an action movie, and many audiences will find The Silence of Lorna gruelling in its lack of plot, and its obsession with the minutiae of its title character's day to day life. For its first 45 minutes, though, this is excellent stuff. Sadly almost all life goes out of the film when Jeremie Renier's character leaves the story midway through and Lorna's story becomes less and less believeable, in spite of an excellent turn from Arta Dobroshi. Still, 45 minutes of an excellent movie is more than you'll have seen most times you've been to the cinema of late.- Was this review helpful to you?

(11)Interesting unusual story
By valleyofthedolls (7 reviews) , 08 May 2013Very interesting story which draws you slowly in and you're not sure where the plot will go and what the outcome of the film will be. Interesting character development, especially in the title character of Lorna.- Was this review helpful to you?

another gem
By a customer , 03 Mar 2012The Dardennes continue to astound with their artful tales from the Wollonian post-industrial landscape. Arta Dobroshi is mesmeric in the title role of Lorna, an Albanian immigrant trying to manage creating a good life with the stresses of the milieu she has chosen to inhabit. The pacing is typical of the brothers' previous work, but never dull, and often surprising - what they chose to leave out often being as telling as what you see. Certainly one of their best films to date, and they show no sign of running out of ideas or the craft and imagination with which to dramatise them.- Was this review helpful to you?

the silence of lorna
By Kelz25 (4 reviews) , 11 Jun 2011Very interesting story line. Worth watching, I did find the ending a little ominous though. Overall though I'm glad that i watched it.- Was this review helpful to you?

Intelligent and subtle film
By a customer from South Wales , 03 Sep 2010Subtle, well-acted, gripping. Stick with the slow first part, because once it gets going, it holds you. Treats the audience as intelligent and you need to use your brain to work out what's going on some times. Transfixing central performance and the director obviouisly liked her a lot because there are loads of shots of her walking about Paris!- Was this review helpful to you?
