[A] closely observed, sociologically astute, and amazingly naturalistic drama about moral compromise as a by-product of economic need. -- Grade: A-
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 3/4 --
As filmmakers, the Dardennes are more concerned with probing the causes of crime than in glamorizing it.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Heaven on earth for the Dardenne Bros., the poets of European mercantile desolation.

East Bay Express
3.5 stars out of 4 -- Renier's performance is the best thing in the movie....The gift of Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne is to show their characters as trapped in personal human situations; they're not creatures of a plot.
Chicago Sun-Times
Lorna's Silence is not only a beautiful film, but also one that moves the filmmakers' art forward a small step or two -- a tectonic shift for these art cinema old faithfuls.

Stop Smiling
The noirish ambience (if not style) underscores the heinousness of those who traffic in human lives for their own ends-a central tenet of the Dardennes' work.

Artforum
Breaking with the handheld subjectivity of previous films, the Dardennes keep the camera still and distant, giving the film an undercurrent of abstraction culminating in a final sequence that feels more like a fairy tale than social realism. -- Grade: B+
