In the words of Andrew Crocker-Harris himself, The Browning Version is exquisite. Anthony Asquith directs with such emotional force that it is hard to leave this film not being moved.

Silence 2016
Scorsese's best film since Taxi Driver. This is Scorsese's second best film.
This is the single most gut wrenching, poetic, beautiful and greatest film I have ever witnessed.

It would be repulsive, insulting, but most of all selfish to call this film "boring" or "disappointing"…
