Several sixth-grade students show their solidarity with the victims of the 1956 Hungarian uprising by staging a minute's silence during lessons.

Performances are generically earnest, which is the most that can be expected with such an anodyne script where broadly-drawn characters like Kessler are over-the-top in their brutish behavior.

This is a solid, good-looking piece of filmmaking which is elevated by a clutch of strong performances from the young cast.

What is the source of the romanticization and nostalgia? ...It is a longing that is especially evident in mainstream films like "The Silent Revolution," for simpler days, when it was possible to distinguish between the good guys and the bad guys.

The road to the outcome does not seem to know the virtues of ellipsis - it conditions a valuable set with much to say about the need to position, without subterfuge, or disguises. [Full Review in Spanish]

An uneven but still effective historical drama that might have carried a much stronger impact had it not been for its strange choice to come up with unnecessary revelations about the characters that feel more like distraction and don't really add anything relevant to the result.

Revolución silenciosa [2018]

A really good movie in my opinion. Actors are incredibly good. Even if the production is classic and a bit traditionnal, this movie is able to touch the spectator. Also, the soundtracks are a masterpiece.

An interesting movie with relatable young characters. It provides a chilling look at what life in East Germany was like during the Cold War and it tells an amazing story you'll have trouble believing is true.

A throughout solid and very convincing performance; great direction which gives this film depth and high relevance. Set in post-war pre-wall East Germany, you can witness the authorities making all the same systemic mistakes again they wanted to counterpart. great historical study with drammatic dynamics.
