THE SILENCE OF LORNA (2008) - Sept. 10, 2008
Though well directed in their usual cinema-verite style by Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, this was an otherwise unspectacular film about a woman who gets caught up in a greencard marriage scheme. All the performances are very good, but the film ultimately feels kind of pointless. The film is at its best in developing the relationship between Lorna and her drug-addicted fake husband -- after he leaves the picture the film sort of loses steam. **1/2
