    Totally threw me, ha!

    It's kind of hard to talk about this film without spoilers, but it's great to watch something where I had NO idea what it was going to do next. I can almost always say with a film, "Okay, one of two things is going to happen here at the ending", and it always does. I had no idea how things were going to pan out here, and what did was mind-blowing!

    Its obviously low budget, and there's a couple of scenes which don't work as well as others, but overall it's great, and Lee Tergesen gives my favorite performance of the year so far. I love Oz and Generation Kill, but it bums me out that he doesn't do more films. Hopefully this'll help.

    Nice Surprise

    Silver Tongues is a film that captures your attention from the start and does not release it till the very end! Dark, tense and very ironic, it is one of the most original plots I have ever seen on screen.The story follows a man and a woman as they go around testing the human condition and making people question themselves, their beliefs, and those they profess to know. The road of destruction that they carve causes the audience to wonder where they will turn next and what fate they will fall victim to. The acting is amazing and the story is constantly keeping you guessing what will happen next even though it is impossible to even start finding out what the next move is. I highly recommend it!

    blew my mind

    I saw this movie at Slamdance last year and maybe it was my hangover, but I remember thinking HURRY UP in the first section because it seemed a little tame, but then came the biggest sucker punch a movie's dealt me in years. I won't say what happens cause it'll be a spoiler, but the whole movie just dragged me off into the night and blew my mind. I loved every minute of it. Sure, it's low budge and there's a couple of things that could be better (the police station looks like a set), but I've really never seen anything like this film. When I was younger and I watched indie films, they used to surprise, shock and excite me, and that rarely seems to happen anymore. I cannot wait to see this movie again, I just wish it'd come out on DVD quicker!!

    One of the better films of 2011

    Silver Tongues is a deeply engaging psychological thriller about characters operating outside the rules of civilized discourse. Why do they do it? Why not? I came upon this film without warning at the Annapolis Prentious Film Society screening, and felt that it was better than nearly every other film I saw in 2011. If we're going to nominate 9 films for best picture, Silver Tongues should have been one of them.

    Lee Tergesen is a superb actor, and this script allows him to explore all of the crazy stuff that must be lurking in his subconscious. Enid Graham is sexy and just as in touch with the outrageous. The script is well structured, with a lot of engaging subtext. Independent cinema at its best.

    Who voted this so low?

    Its dark creepy original and yes lacking talent sometimes but still at least a7 compared to a lot of indie sundance bonding two people forming a relationship mumbo jumbo vomit that people waste their lives producing, making. This better than that stuff. This is probably one of the best love stories written in a long time. This should be remade with better actors though. Not pretty actors just better. They also need a better soundtrack like something off drive album. None of this indie sundance chime and bells softy stuff that makes real men vomit and real women yawn. Reminds of crash by cronenberg slash the sci fi writer - not Gibson - the other dude. I want to play games too now. This movie makes me want to play so bad! Did u see that butt in the first sequence. Oh man.
