	Author	Review
United States	Jordan Raup The Film Stage	"After an intriguing initial act, 'The Sound of Silence' unfortunately never matches the same level of intrigue and humor (...) Despite lacking in a narrative pull, Tyburski’s works best as a ruminative city symphony"	NEU
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"[It] is a deeply silly movie that takes itself incredibly seriously, and believe it or not, that’s its great pleasure (...) The movie feels woefully undernourished for something that originated as a short"	NEU
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] deftly balances the cerebral with the soulful in a story of transfixing originality (...) [A] minor-key but unexpectedly lovely film"	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"There are clearly some fascinating ideas embedded in it, but the whole production is too numbingly flat, blending into one disappointing tone."	NEU
United States	Michael Nordine IndieWire	"[Sarsgaard] fully inhabits his oddball character, making him not only believable but convincing (...) It proves more effective as a character study than it does as a drama."	POS
