Unsilenced

Amazing cast and production. Very strong storyline that keeps you engaged throughout the movie. The story is very touching. The audience can make a real connection with the story. This movie sheds light on the truth about persecution of Falun Gong and what people are going through under communism. It's a must watch.

What this film does, is bring to our attention of the real event that is actually happening on the other side of the world. The film itself has pretty clear storyline, however the intensities are just something else that the audiences have to live with. The brutalities, the unthinkable, the free wills that we take for granted, these are some of the issues that the film asks us to think about.

This film is incredibly timely with everything that is going on in the world today. It is a powerful story and expresses universal truths about power, greed, misinformation, corruption and control. Excellent film, highly recommend.

This is a movie that needs to be put into context, production wise.

Storytelling, filming, acting, editing, cinematography, soundtrack: all combined deserves a 6.5 (cinematography and color grading are my favorite parts here)

But: the efforts and dangers that comes into play when recreating 1999 Beijing... well that's a 10.

Just check the end credits, heaps of "anonymous" among the names. The danger of filming in Taiwan a movie (not a documentary hey) that exposes the nightmare that can be todays people republic of china... well congrats. Btw: kudos to the production design and location departments, great job.

The story is linear and fairly easy to follow, but yes there are moments when it moves on in an awkward/artificial/coincidence based way... prime example the reporter who seems to be at the right place in the right moment too many times.

Act one seems to be too short for us the audience to understand who the protagonists are, what they need to accomplish, and the obstacles.

The main theme though is worth celebrating: upholding truth.

I'd have liked to see more character development for the antagonist.

"Unsilenced," gets a 10 out of 10 because of how important its message is to the world. To me, the core idea is that, at the end of the day, the will to seek the truth and spread the truth always outweighs the will to spread lies and silence the truth.
