[A] somber beauty of a French-language drama....Every time predictability threatens, the plot takes an unexpected turn...
Wall Street Journal
It's the closest thing to a crowd pleaser that these rigorous, demanding and profoundly humane artists are likely to make.
New York Times
The story within Lorna's Silence is built on tiny increments of tantalizing details, meted out in penurious droplets and with chest-tightening tension that suggests that what the brothers wanted to be when they grew up were boa constrictors.
Washington Post
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
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
Included in Chicago Sun-Times's The Best Foreign Films Of 2009 -- [I]t's about personalities, as intensely observed as always with the Dardennes.
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 3/4 --
In casting the previously unknown Dobroshi, the brothers approach greatness with their lean portrait of simple humanity tested by desire and driven desperate by circumstances.
