Even though Silver's films tend to be conversational, in Uncertain Terms, he lets the silences build up... Other times, crucial information, such as Jean's growing jealousy over Robbie and her animosity toward Nina, are communicated through locked glances, and in half whispers. Only during the escalating fights between Nina and Chase, or after the sudden appearance of Robbie's wife, do the exchanges quickly reach emotional crescendos, and thus prove quite wrenching.
