Reviews

4.5 OUT OF 5 Consider A Question of Silence in feminist film programming. Highly recommended. – Video Librarian

Cult Epics’s 2K restoration of Marleen Gorris’s 1982 dramatic thriller “A Question of Silence” is still horrifically on-target with its exploration of gender equity. –Elements of Madness

“A Question of Silence must be on the shortlist of finest films that Cult Epics has ever released. I have absolutely no hesitation in stating that the title is one that would absolutely make the cut with Criterion” – Jim Tudor

Cult Epics’ new release of A Question of Silence joins its growing lineup of Dutch classics and it’s an essential release easily ranking amongst the most important of the year. – Nostalgia Kinky

“As with many great films about societal failings, it’s almost embarrassing to watch A Question of Silence (original Dutch title: The Silence Around Christine M.) and recognize how relevant its depiction of a patriarchal society is 40 years after it was made.” – Genregrinder

“If you’re looking for a fresh watch that is curious, challenging, and entertaining, A Question of Silence is a potent piece of filmmaking that is well worth a blind buy.” – Ink19

Three Women Murder to Stand Up Against EVIL! “A Question of Silence” Reviewed.” – Its Bloggin Evil!

A QUESTION OF SILENCE BLU-RAY SCREENSHOTS – Cultsploitation

“Marleen Gorris’s striking, provocative debut has lost none of its righteous, subversive force.” – Slant Magazine

Cult Epics’ Blu-ray release of A Question Of Silence brings a genuinely interesting and well-made thriller to Blu-ray with a solid presentation and some nice extras that explore the movie’s history and significance. Recommended! – Rockshockpop

“It almost feels like an early David Cronenberg film except you can’t blame their actions on a mutation or parasite. There’s something bigger that links them to their violence. And that bigger thing is still present. A Question of Silence might be relevant more today than in 1982.” – Insidepulse

“A stunning piece of work… You wonder why it’s not even ranked in Sight and Sound’s 100 Best Films of All Time…let alone not in the top ten!” – Movie Online

“A riveting and controversial movie…a must see!” – Los Angeles Times

“A shocker all right, a terse provocative movie…” – New York Daily News
