Critic Reviews

Scott Foundas

All three actors are more than up to the challenge, particularly the radiant Salazar, who feasts upon that rare gift of a role that allows an actress the wrong side of 40 to be funny, sexy and vital without apologizing. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

Its charms sneak up on you because of the nuanced performances of Burton, Bauche and particularly Salazar. Read full review

Scott Foundas

Largely plays down the ethnic stereotyping to deliver a carefully observed, fundamentally human roundelay about the wonders and horrors of looking for someone to love. Read full review

Robert Dominguez

Strong, subtle performances elevate A Silent Love, a slow-moving drama about an unlikely love triangle from first-time director Federico Hidalgo. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Manages to entertain while saying something about loneliness and culture shock. Read full review

Stephen Holden

Ultimately, A Silent Love transcends its problem-play situation to ponder how the best laid plans for an arranged marriage are no match against the vicissitudes of passion in a romantically besotted culture. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Robles and Hidalgo ring enough changes on a stock situation that you're never sure where it's going. Read full review
