A perfect couple rents a holiday home on a sunny Italian island. The reality does not live up to their expectations when they find out that the pool in the house is broken. Ignorant of the fact that the island faces water shortage, they ask for someone to fix it. The constant presence of a stranger invades the couple's idea of safety and starts a chain of events, which makes them act instinctively and irrationally, heading to the darkest place in their relationship.

Anton Bitel Little White Lies 09/23/2022
Silent Land plays very much in the key of Austria’s Michael Haneke, chillingly exposing class entitlement and the aloofness that the rich maintain – even in an emergency – from the grubby mortality of the poor. Go to Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian 09/20/2022

[A] methodical and incisive debut feature... Go to Full Review Alexandra Heller-Nicholas AWFJ.org 10/21/2021
Resisting any need to make overt judgements, in Silent Land Woszczyńska confidently steps back and lets us make our own call about the moral questions her film prompts in her compelling, enigmatic debut. Go to Full Review Giuseppe Sedia Kino Mania 01/21/2025
4/5
The glacial chemistry between Dymecki and Żulewska works beautifully on the big screen, The two tourists are presented as a cosmopolitan couple but the Polish filmmaker willingly let some traits of ‘Polishness’ surface here and there in the script.

4/5
Directed with a remarkable sense of style for a debut feature, Silent Land subtly and noiselessly radiates a venomous anxiety all its own. Go to Full Review Joshua Polanski In Review Online 06/05/2024
Silent Land bores by reveling too much in its own insincere cleverness, even if Woszczyńska and her filmmaking team show promise as visual thinkers.  Go to Full Review Read all reviews
