"A shockingly powerful thriller."
— David Denby, New York Magazine/Vulture
"A career breakthrough for Jonathan Demme."
— Adam Mars-Jones, Independent (UK) TOP CRITIC
"Anthony Hopkins' performance as Lecter is an uproarious technical masterpiece."
— Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
"Anthony Hopkins is devastatingly demonic in Jonathan Demme's truly horrifying thriller."
— Jan Stuart, Newsday
"Jonathan Demme's thriller is artful pulp -- tabloid material treated with intelligence and care and a weird kind of sensitivity."
— Terrence Rafferty, New Yorker
"Jonathan Demme's hypnotic adaptation of the Thomas Harris novel has a seriousness and intensity that's been entirely lacking in horror movies lately."
— John Hartl, Seattle Times
"The Silence of the Lambs is the Psycho of the '90s. A first-rate stomach-in-a-knot psychological thriller that will prod shaken viewers to check the back seat."
— Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Throughout the movie, Demme gets across more terror than a dozen Friday the 13ths by showing not the horrifying thing itself but the faces of people looking at horror."
— Kathy Huffhines, Detroit Free Press
"Jonathan Demme's Silence of the Lambs has everything you want in a popular thriller. It's stylish, intelligent, audacious rather than shocking, and stolen by a suave monster you'll never forget."
— Jay Carr, Boston Globe
"The Silence of the Lambs is the stuff that nightmares are made of. It is, in a sense, a horror movie, but one that deserves comparison with such great works of psychological terror as The Shining, Psycho and Rosemary's Baby."
— Harper Barnes, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
