	Author	Review
United States	Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut	"Well made but essentially dull crime drama: nothing we haven’t seen before (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Even in these pandemic times, when we all hunger for escapism, this long journey to a lame ending hardly fills the bill (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
Canada	Molly Freeman Screen Rant	"A decently exhilarating thriller movie, even if the twists in the story aren't always well-earned or well thought out (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
Denmark	Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"While this movie has an intriguing plot, it does also come predictable and feels a little too messy at times (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media	"The mystery story in 'The Silencing' doesn't quite click together as neatly as you might hope (...) But the writing is still fairly strong, with some smart twists and dialogue. All in all, it's not a mind-blowing movie, but it's sufficiently entertaining"	POS
United States	Glenn Kenny rogerebert.com	"Pront shoots and stages all this stuff with slick facility (...) but one does feel one’s seen all this before (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Johnny Loftus Decider	"There are a zillion prestige television programs built of the same murders and moving parts as 'The Silencing', and many of those offer more style points to boot"	NEG
Canada	Molly Freeman Screen Rant	"For his part, [Coster-Waldau] gives a compelling turn in the role, but the part as written doesn't offer much beyond what's been seen plenty times before (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
