KST Sep 21 2024 10:16 am This is an amazing film. I watched it last year I guess.

Blanca Trueba Jan 16 2024 8:48 am Great story, great acting especially the mute ML (Yoo Ah-In) and the kidnapped FL (Moon Seung Ah) -- both the actor and the child actress are awesome! Some of the scenes are a bit disturbing though, with a child that young having to witness people being tortured/killed and being cleaned up/buried. Why do they need to bring the kidnapped girl to work while they can leave the little sister at home unsupervised?

The ending could be better, there was no full closure and it's being kept hanging. What happened to the ML, did eventually the police catch him? Who will care for the little sister if the brother is in jail? Is the kidnapped FL back to her family (who seem to prefer their son instead of the daughter)?

Another disturbing scene is when the kidnapped FL is sent to the child trafficker, who gives her some kind of (alcoholic?) drink to make the child dizzy. Also, the scenes where the policewoman was being buried without being checked if she was still alive or not, in front of the two girls! So scary.

But overall, it's an amazing movie. Just be mentally prepared to watch. Highly recommended!

Renwa Nov 11 2021 9:32 pm Voice of Silence is one fascinating powerful film. I should probably digest it before writing these comments but here goes anyway. Of course watching Yoo Ah In in anything is a treat and he certainly doesn’t disappoint here. Yoo Jae Myung and Moon Seung A did a fantastic job of acting as well. Taken against beautiful calm scenery, the film depicts a despicable filthy seedy amoral world which is presented as normal…business as usual! The main characters survive by adapting & fitting into the the squalor…up to a point. Yoo Ah In’s voiceless character while seemingly ignorant of the ways of the world, “screams out” through his actions, ultimately, the only ounce of morality we will see. As we watch this story, even we the audience have become complacent & accustomed to this amorality even snickering at unbelievable parts as if humor can exist here. The ending disturbed me greatly as by this time we have been compromised and praying Yoo Ah In character escapes & runs into a better life…any life. Yes, the symbolisms in this film abound and will shake you up. Clearly a great script & direction.

Emerald Miranda Aug 10 2021 2:02 pm A movie where an actor without a dialog wins best actor twice is no joke! It simply says that the movie is worth watching. I watched it and it’s not a typical drama-movie.

Wew May 27 2021 2:23 am This is so heartbreaking

alessa Apr 10 2021 2:59 am Storyline was clean and well portrayed. Yoo ah in never disappoints, his performance is incredible

yhang Apr 03 2021 3:45 am No wonder Ah-in Oppa wins for Best Actor. Great acting for him!!! ??

NGS Sep 17 2020 3:48 am DANG! IT LOOK SO INTERESTING! both lead are also top notch actors :D

Anne Sep 11 2020 5:32 am Just watched the trailer! It looks so good. As expected from Yoo Ah In and Yoo Jae Myung. Both are really talented and versatile actors, I'm so excited for this movie. I hope they'll also release it on netflix or viu as soon as possible.

Support their other works as well! All are amazing and well-known in Korea.

Ms Mars Jul 30 2020 6:33 am That's a quick follow-up movie after #Alive with Park Shin Hye. Yoo Ah in oppa is very good in all his roles especially action-drama. It's good he's busy with films & Kdramas at the same time.

The world needs more real people like Ah In ♥️♥️♥️

Looking forward to watching this movie this year.

Saranghae Ah In my loves!!!

Ais Jun 15 2020 7:30 am This is gonna be a good one for sure!

gizibe Jun 28 2019 9:25 pm Always looking forward for Yoo Ah In new movies. He is amazing actor. Bonus ... that haircut and worked body from insta lol

LKB Jun 07 2019 1:43 pm Yoo Ah In x Yoo Jae Myung... Both (esp.Ah In) choose really interesting works and a wide variety of them, and both are the cream of the crop skill wise, so this should, if this writer-director I don't know of is worth their time and efforts, be amazing.
