Review of Silent Night

Silent Night (2023)
2/10
No dialog.
19 December 2023
There is no dialog in this movie. Zero. Not an intelligible word in the entire film and what a waste because Joel Kinnaman is a wonderful actor. This is where the pretentiousness of the creators of this movie shine through.

"Hey, let's make a movie where our lead character doesn't speak"

"Ok, that sound really interesting, but everyone else speaks, right ?"

"NO! That's the hook...there's NO DIALOG in the entire film. Even when other characters who are able to speak and you would expect them to, we're not going to have them talk EITHER!"

"But won't that be boring for the audi-"

"And I know, we'll set it at Christmas, but in a place that has no snow, because who wants to film in snow?... And, get this...we'll call it Silent Night...get it?..Silent...because people don't speak but everyone will think it's related to Christmas"
