Silence Becomes You (2005)

Very well executed

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I'd like to get this movie in a very much artistic way. The two sisters issue is a reflection of an experiment that a father did on his children. The alchemist topic in the movie is relevant just in the main history, but the personality of two sisters that connect each other and link their own thoughts (even with their dad's thoughts)is definitely a wonderful description of what the real art is. I remember the many scenes of Grace painting, and the messages the father left into her consciousness; all of that meaning that the art is life and life is art (a real paradox of an artist). This is just an example of many scenes in the film.I conclude that the movie is really worth to be seen, specially if you are an artist (musician, painter, writer, or any kind of art you do)

Two sisters, Violet (Alicia Silverstone) and Grace (Sienna Guillory), very bounded to each other, live in an old mansion with ghosts of their past. Violet meets Luke (Joe Anderson) in a bar, and brings him to her mansion. Along the days, she seduces him, and they have sex many times as part of a plot with Grace. When Luke decides to leave the house with Violet, Grace tries to avoid, and Luke finds that they are trapped in the place.This lame film gave me the sensation that a part is missing. I saw it on DVD, but if it was on VHS, I would believe that the tape might have broken and missed the part with the explanation of the plot of Grace and Violet. I am not sure if the screenplay is awful, or the characters are badly developed or both, but I was not able to understand the confuse story. The soundtrack in many parts is annoying, Alicia Silverstone is not sexy in the sex scenes, therefore nothing but the beautiful cinematography works in this awful direction. I would not recommend this flick even in a rainy and boring Saturday afternoon in Rio de Janeiro. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): "Vítima da Sedução" ("Victim of the Seduction")

The thing I truly disliked about this film was all the loose ends that were never tied up. Were the girls psychically linked to each other, or was the redhead just able to do voodoo on Alicia (like when she burnt her picture and Alicia felt it). And what was up with their parents? I got the feeling that something really evil went down in that house. Like their mother was murdered or something, yet they never explain. ALso, what was with Alicia's reaction when the blonde guy was playing around with the dead mother's things. And don't get me started on the dad. He dressed like a magician, and the whole thing he kept saying about "lead to gold, lead to gold"...I'm still confused on that part. Also, the paintings that moved around, and were moaning when the fire broke out. Was that house under some kind of spell or were the girls just stir crazy from being locked up? Oh, and they never fully explained what "the plan" was that the girls had. Was it just to get one of them knocked up by some random guy? Needless to say, I am still scratching my head over this mess!

It was an interesting premise for a movie, however, it had the tendency to lose it's impetus by attempting to be too art house. It captured the interest by keeping the watcher intent on working out exactly who was trying to achieve what and with whom but, more importantly why? It made for a kind of Charmed meets tortured soul effect, not, it has to be said a great combination for a movie. The dynamic of the sisters with their warped control freak father was nicely worked, leaving the watcher to draw their own conclusions about exactly what he got up to when mom wasn't looking.Interesting boho kitsch costume for the girls and a nice stud muffin too!
