As a science nerd I was intrigued by the simplicity and sense of plausibility to the plotline. There is no book and I can find no existence of Dr. Laura Gale Phd. I think this was a very artistically innovative way to make a movie during the Covid19 pandemic to feed an audience begging for input to dull their insanity. So kudos to director for finding a way to make a buck in 2020 and distract us for a few minutes. I can honestly say after watching I wanted it all to be true but in reality suspect none of it is.

This is actually a UFO documentary, sort of, and a very dry one at that. With Mandy May Cheetham playing the part of Laura Gale being interviewed, I'm left wondering why not use the actual footage of Laura being interviewed? If it even exists, it might have been an improvement. After about 10 minutes of watching, I just couldn't handle any more, overly long pauses, voice from a black screen, and slow drawn out speech, so I started over at 2X play speed. About 30 min in I slowed to 1.4X because it started to get interesting. That's the way it stayed till the end, barely interesting even at 1.4X playback speed.

Agreed that it is just more disinformation. I can personally say that there is something that has been happening, or coming in and out of dimension's etc. on our planet for a very long time. From my personal experience and belief is that is just evil. The first thing you need to understand or ask of any of these so called experts or whistle blowers etc, especially these aatip and so called tied in experts is why none of them, zero, announce or acknowledge that we, the U.S. govt. has had a C.rash R.ecovery P.rotocal or A.C.R.P. for a very long time. Since before the end of ww2. Thousands of regular military personal such as myself were pulled into this protocol over the decades yet none of these people ever mention it. Why, because they are just part of the disinfo campaign. Literally none of these people have ever told the truth. My experience was what ever they were it was pure evil. Now, not everyone will agree, not even everyone that was on the mountain that night. But, that was my take down to my core being. These people never tell the truth. I will leave you with this thought. Do you honestly, honestly, think we jumped over 150 years or more in technology basically overnight by chance. I don't think so.. we just are not that smart lol... well we get around to it, but it generally takes us a long time historically lol. This, I guess you can call it entertainment... There is really two camps... the whacko's who think everything is "ancient aliens", NOT, and the camp that is hiding what ever the real truth is. Me, I believe the true answer may just be biblical... Technology has and is necessary for who ever wants to reach the whole world and try and control it... think about that one... kinda explains the whole seeding of technology over the decades... Anyway, don't look for any truth's out of this one... just fiction, not a true life story as they claim... BS

One highly opinionated woman holds forth melodramatically for what seems like forever. Even a half-hearted attempt at editing out the interminable "dramatic pauses" would cut the length by 75%. As a veteran of watching dozens of UFO documentaries, I can tell you there is nothing here that hasn't been included in other films, and more interestingly, I might add. There are more UFO documentaries to see than most people will ever have time for. Skipping over this one will most likely lead to seeing something much more interesting and informative.

I had a good crack at watching this but! The whole Cruella DeVil thing going on plus the continual black screen effect just seems lazy. Not broadcast quality I'm afraid.

My rating sould be 0.1/10. If curiosity really gets the best of you go find and get the subtitle on the web and read it. You will get the whole of the plot without investing more than an hour listening to a monotonous narration and watching a black screen with flashing lights. It's an excercise in moronic depression caused by the pandemic quarantine.

Instead of watching this film make your own pointless monologue about how you worked for a secret organization with a friend, let's call him Paul. Describe lights you saw in the sky and sea. Stand in front of a black curtain while you speak. Include some shots of a lava lamp.

Horrible background sounds, blurred lights, no footage, no interviews, no validation of any claim. The first 4 minutes is just an annoying sound. This is an utter waste of time. Story telling at its worst.

I quite enjoyed myself while watching this, it's well written and worth the watch!

I couldn't stand more than 10 minutes and I fast forwarded 7 of those. The obnoxious story telling of the actress was driving me insane. I came to this thinking it was real but it became immediately apparent she was an actress. I very rarely give a 1 but sorry I would have given this a 0. Conceited and self important. Do not watch this movie.

Because it's not that we're alone in the universe - that much is a statistical impossibility - but that we are not alone, and nobody cares. Humanity is the ever-present blinking light of an unread message in the dark corner of the room.

Obviously fiction (I mean, if the explicit disclaimer in the credits didn't tip you off, or the presentation as a whole then I worry for your brain!) but it doesn't matter. The Gulf of Silence isn't made to deceive, unlike the majority of UFO media, but rather to strike to the vulnerable, fleshy core of the phenomenon and the people most affected by it. Not with a sensationalist, smooth brained and popcorn gargling farcical take, but something utterly personal and heart breakingly relatable.

Whether you're involved in this field or any other similarly maligned by the greater populace, provided you're not some soulless grifter that is, chances are you've been in some of the places Laura Gale has been. Endured the same jokes, snorts, the deaths of social units and the crippling, anxiety induced self sabotage in response. (insert alienation pun here?)

If The Gulf of Silence achieves anything its the absolute realisation of a relatable, grounded protagonist divulging an account so credible within a genre so often bogged down in trashy, tabloid junk more concerned with making its viewer feel special, chosen and important. Maybe that's why it's currently being brigaded with one stars and being "reviewed" by filmgoers that unironically watch things at 2x speed and call people "females".

Also its very funny.

An intelligent, a novelty and curious way of expressing facts, fiction, and your own thoughts on this subject. Brilliant and refreshing; and again NOT a documentary, but a sci-fi fiction!

As someone who has been involved in the UFOlogy and disclosure movement for about the last 25 years, I had hoped that this was not yet another work of fiction. Sure enough with a cursory search of the internet, it is 100 percent fiction.

I am disappointed in the fact that this person did such a great job of putting this together only to have the rug pulled out from under me with it being a complete fabrication. That is the problem with a lot of these things, is that they don't help further the cause, or create more curiosity. This is almost worse than the Stan Romanek fiasco because this was actually watchable, and had a lot of heart behind it.

20 minutes into this film I figured it was not quite right and with a simple internet search could not find any Laura Gale PHD, nor could I find any books or writings by the person that the actress portrays.

As much as I would like to give this praise for what it does, I have to be critical of what it is not. It is not real, it is not factual, and amazon and other outlets tout it as being real, or at the very least, involving the real people who experienced these things. Irritation does not even begin to describe the level of contempt I have.

I actually hoped this was real, and factual. Thanks for making me even more skeptical than I already am.

An hour and 25 minutes of a slow, nasal, condescending, self-important woman fantasizing how she was "selected" to become some kind of UFO expert by "the government". She also claims to give the viewer the "truth" of what's gone on here on Earth ... and she basically regurgitates a few months' worth of high school "science" class factoids including how life on Earh formed (cough).

If you came to this looking for a genuine whistle-blower, you should know that it's all fiction - and very sloooow fiction at that. I watched it at 1.5X speed to get through it faster. It probably would have been easier to stomach without the amazingly annoying soundtrack ... like 80 minutes of someone running their fingernails down a chalkboard - but there you have it.

There are much better ways to spend your time and attention.

Full of miss information. Claiming Roswell was not an alien crash site. Try telling that to all of the folks in Roswell .,

First off, Robert Bigelow should sue the hell out of this desperate production. The actress is CHINGY makes you want to fast forward most the time. Stay away from this one.. trust me.

I actually wasted 32 minutes of my time, I believed it was an actual documentary but its a mockumentary! The only thing this actress was great at was getting the audience to dislike her arrogant personality I literally stopped the film when she said Bob Lazar was a fraud. People don't waste your time ,her obnoxious voice gave me a headache.

A cursory google will tell you that the main character of the film doesn't exist, so why is the film getting reviewed badly by people who feel like they're being lied to? Bruce Springsteen never worked a day in his life, but his dad worked in a factory for decades. He took what he saw and ignored the small truth's to try to tell a big truth. Would these reviewers begrudge The Boss' working class credentials in the same way that they're begrudging this film for its ambiguous relationship to reality?

I could only manage 12 minutes. The picture kept cutting out every few seconds, to the point where I actually thought there was a fault with my streaming service!

Just a horrible, horrible format. It's like watching a slow strobe light. Who the hell edits like this?!

I greatly enjoyed this especially during this times.

ABOUT HALFWAY THRU IT BECAME CLEAR THAT SHE WAS IN FACT THE ONE BEING DECEPTIVE AND MISLEADING ABT WHAT SHE BELIEVES. CLEARLY, THIS MOVIE WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ALLOED TO BE MADE IF SHE STATED THINGS TO BE THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT SHE CLAIMS.... MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE, NO LOGIC TO HER CLAIMS AS SHE DOES A COMPLETE 180.

ONE SH KEEP IN MIND THAT IN ORDER FOR SOMETHING TO B BELIEVEABLE, THERE HAS TO BE SOME TRUTH TO THE MATTER AS SHE PURPORTS TO BE.

DO NOT WASTE UR TIME.

The actress did a good job, I had to go back to the title page to find out it was not a documentary. At last, we would have something tangible if this movie had really been a documentary. Right now, I feel stock between "Are there aliens?", Is it a conspiracy? Are they bad, are they good? After viewing the documentaries "Underground" and "Unacknowledged" I have to say I am a bit confused on what is really going on ...

Science fiction is great, but this is more of a mocking of the UAP subject. It would be nice if this type of thing actually happened. Senior scientific members of the establishment coming forward and sharing what they know, risking their careers to share life altering knowledge with their fellow man. This is NOT that. The content is well written, but simply a semantically different spin on the same old data.

An extremely boring woman who apparently went on to be a UFO expert telling the least interesting UFO sighting story I have ever heard. The graphics are pathetic and there is nothing remotely interesting about this video of a woman talking. She could have shot it herself with her phone.

Some reviewers have stated the movie is fictitious. That makes the it even more of an abomination since someone took the time to make up the nothing. Fiction should hold our interest if nothing else.
