- 75Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreSilo is a quietly gripping “trouble in farm country” thriller.
- 67Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerAustin ChronicleRichard WhittakerThat 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.
- 67The Film StageJared MobarakThe Film StageJared MobarakThe 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.
- 50Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayLos Angeles TimesNoel MurrayBurnette handles the genre film and the art film pieces of Silo fairly well but shortchanges them both by not committing fully to either.
- 50RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyRogerEbert.comGlenn KennyThe shooting is picturesque, the acting overbaked.
- 41Paste MagazineJacob OllerPaste MagazineJacob OllerThere’s a very scary, thrilling, insightful movie to be made about these kinds of accidents and the people they happen to. Silo isn’t it.
- 20The New York TimesBen KenigsbergThe New York TimesBen KenigsbergIf Burnette’s formal instincts are suboptimal — the pervasive backlighting and underlighting keep much of the action in shadow — his dramatic instincts are worse.
