Silo

SILO is an exemplary film in that it bridges the gap between middle America and the East/West coast. The producers of this film clearly respected and learned everything they could about American farmers, and approached the topic with empathy and open minds--it shows in the storytelling that neither belittles nor aggrandizes the American farmer. It's a moving, effective story on why "feeding the world comes at a cost."

I've been sceptical, considering the shorter runtime and the seemingly simple story. Luckily it turned out to be another gem. Great actors, each of them authentic and thus believable and emotionally engaging. Cinematography - perfect! Overall, this movie is so well done, as soon as it ended I watched it a second time immediately. Simply because I enjoyed the acting so much.

This is a story that needs to be told! Coming from a farm family and raising my children around farm equipment is a daunting task in regard to safety. This film depicts a real-life scenario that happens all-to-often. The movie itself is beautifully made with intensity that rises and falls in the perfect moments. A must see!

I'm so happy to finally see a movie that takes a serious dive into the real life of farming and the real dangers that are associated with farming. Best movie I've seen in a while.

Its refreshing to see a movie dedicated to a way of life I would never see. The movie packs a lot of action into 77 minutes leaving me with a new appreciation for the risks involved getting that delicious popcorn to this consumers hand.

Anyone with a brain knows that when a person is wedged in a silo, trying to pull them out with a rope will crush the lungs and kill them!! Unfortunate situation but many people succumb to a death such like this.

Moving, well-written, well-acted original story and an important message combined; this film tells the risks that America's farmers face every day in the Heart Land. Not sure why this film has such low ratings here on IMDb; the cinematography is excellent, the scenes are all beautifully shot throughout the entire film, and the acting is top notch, especially considering I didn't recognize any of the members of the cast, aside from Chris Ellis in a small role, who also acts near the top of his career. I see now that IMDb has created a 600 character limit for reviews also, which is an extreme pity, since I've said all I came to say about this film, and is especially tragic when the NEGLECT that has been given to this site over the last 15 years is all been overlooked (bot reviews, reviews that are literally two lines long, troll reviews, etc.) but here we are, with me writing a legitimate review and I'm forced to chock out 94 more characters because now you you fkheads think we should have a limit. Choke. Anyway, the movie is good. Recommended. SILO -----8/10.
