Ratings and reviews

"SILO" feels more like a documentary than a feature. The actors give very lived-in performances that make the characters seem like people you've known all your lives. Yes, their relationships are confusing at first, but I suspect that is by design. We the audience are privileged outsiders in this tight-knit community, and the movie is not going to stop its relentless forward momentum just to explain these sorts of things to us. How refreshing!

Emotional, revealing, and to-the-point. SILO humanizes industrialized agriculture and explains why "feeding the world comes at a cost." A realistic portrait of middle America about little-known but frequent tragedies.

Silo was so accurate, shedding light on a real and serious threat in America. Everyone needs to see this! Important and entertaining!
