Silo is a quietly gripping “trouble in farm country” thriller. Read full review

That Silo centers around the people of the town is what differentiates it from a media satire like Ace in the Hole, and places it alongside The Straight Story, God's Own Country, and Minari: films that feel like studies of rural life. Read full review

The After School Special vibe at the back of Marshall Burnette’s Silo isn’t a bug. It’s a feature. Because beyond creating a captivatingly suspenseful premise with which to build a plot, grain entrapment is a significant enough issue to demand a path towards awareness as much as cinematic entertainment.

First movie I have seen in theaters in 15 months. What an experience! Very impressive for a first time director. Grain entrapments are no joke. Silo captures it beautifully.

"SILO" feels more like a documentary than a feature. The actors give very lived-in performances that make the characters seem like people you've known all your lives. The reviews that complain about how the relationships aren't fully clear miss the point — this is that rare movie that"SILO" feels more like a documentary than a feature.
