The critic consesnsus is: The Look of Silence delivers a less shocking -- yet just as terribly compelling -- companion piece to Joshua Oppenheimer's The Act of Killing.. What reviews supported this critic consensus?
1. A B-side to The Act of Killing but no mere Blue in the Face afterthought.
2. Much of Look of Silence, like The Act of Killing, represents a fight for history, a struggle to properly acknowledge the million Indonesian dead.
3. What a combination of misery and uplift this movie is.
4. The film does not stab as deeply at the schizoid moral hypocrisy of the perpetrators of the Indonesian genocide as its peerless predecessor, but offers a poignant, upsetting meditation on the legacy of those killings.
5. My relief in watching this movie, which once again recounts the slaughters in great, almost fetishistic detail, is that at least the victims are allowed a voice this time.
6. Illustrates the difference between good and evil in a remarkably clear, honest, and subtle fashion.
7. "The Look of Silence" is likely to be the most important film of the year.
8. You're horrified, then you're bored.
9. Joshua Oppenheimer is trying to right a wrong from 50 years ago and bring to light the truths about that turbulent time in Indonesian history.
10. Searing, essential and unforgettable.
