The Silence of the Lambs

CriticsCritics: 91
AudienceAudience: 8.5

A young FBI trainee is assigned to interview a brilliant, dangerously manipulative psychiatrist imprisoned for murder. She hopes his insight will help the bureau track a killer, but gaining his cooperation means entering an unsettling psychological bargain and confronting difficult personal fears.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, intelligent thriller driven by psychological tension and powerful performances; Not for you if disturbing violence, grim subject matter, or slower investigative scenes are a drawback.
