Silence

2016 historical/religious drama

Rating: 15/20

Plot: A pair of priests venture to a Japan that doesn't like Christianity in order to retrieve a missionary who was their mentor.

Issey Ogata's where it's at! I probably wasn't supposed to love or root for his character in this, but I couldn't help it. No, he didn't have Adam Driver's ears or Andrew Garfield's bone structure, but he had this voice that just made me love every scene he was in.

This movie's a little too long, but at least there's a beheading.
