"There are films in life that you watch time and time again, because they make you laugh or cry or remember or let go. Silent Night is such a film. Carsten Clemens gives an outstanding performance as the young parish priest whose every move seems to come under scrutiny. Clemens exudes both idealism of an upstart priest and the vulnerability of a young pastor who is still learning his way around. Clemens is clearly in touch with the vision for the film, because he so completely avoids showy in favor of a more quiet and sincere performance. " (The Independent Critic 10/13)
