A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Jayne Nelson

A wealthy Polish couple arrive on a baking, drought-ridden Italian island expecting a relaxing holiday. They're annoyed to find the swimming pool at their rented villa is unusable; when the owner promises to fix the problem, they're rude to him. But the entitlement of these arrogant outsiders is shaken when a shocking accident befalls the young man hired to work on the pool. Will the police believe their story about what happened? Don't expect a pacey thriller - director and co-writer Aga Woszczynska takes her time to weave this psychological study, and the results are frustratingly slow. But the performances are excellent: Agnieszka Zulewska is pure ice as the distant, detached Anna, whose husband Adam (Dobromir Dymecki) struggles to find his humanity as the story limps forward. Silent Land's message about the rich exploiting the poor is hardly subtle but it's still effective, thanks largely to Ibrahim Keshk's small yet memorable role as the doomed immigrant worker.
