“The Quiet Girl” Review!
Director: Colm Bairead
Cast: Catherine Clinch, Carrie Crowley, Andreq Bennett
“The Quiet Girl" moves at its own pace and never breaks its footsteps or raises its voice, yet, by the end of it, you feel like it's completely shattered when its delicate crescent moon ends. They break and pierce your heart. "The Quiet Girl" is a short but beautiful debut by writer and director Com Bairead, a great calling card for its producer and young star Catherine Klinch.
Clinch plays Kat, a 9-year-old girl from rural Ireland in the 80's. The pregnant and distressed mother, three older sisters, the crying girl, and the drunken father are the signs of her neglect as she quietly retreats trapped in the bungalow, and her classmates struggle to fight. Reading, sometimes wetting the bed. Her parents decide that it would be best to send her to the summer, at least until the new baby is born, without consulting the wind, so she should be reunited with her mother's cousin Eblin (Carrie Crowley). Country house owned. And her husband Sean (Andrew Bennett).
Although frightened at first, the wind adapts well to this new arrangement, and the peace of home immediately made her feel better. As the relationship between Eblin and Sean develops, Clichy performs remarkably well through minimal dialogue that pulls the cat out of her shell. At home and on their farm they take great care of her, where the wind realizes that she loves pitching, yet despite the constant but profound pain haunting them, slowly coming together, the understanding between the three is shattered. People are moving deeper.
The film is an adaptation of Claire Keegan's novel Foster, thus retaining the play's typical Big Momentous minimum, instead allowing her legendary character to act, and the heartwarming performances of all three take the audience into dynamic changes at home. The wind and her new temporary rental parents are getting closer. It alleviates stress when you practically forget that it is not really the house of the wind, and treats any honest life lessons as an olive branch after beach conversations and minor disputes. It was discontinued in favor of giving custard cream.
This means that "The Quiet Girl" often keeps emotions in a small boil, but it has a really catchy slow-burn, a little devastating, final scene that perfectly balances hope and despair. The beginning. As the golden light of the summer sun bathes in all the scenes, it makes the whole thing look so beautiful, while the occasional night scenes with the twinkling moonlight and the clever blocking have a hint of mystery about them. The signal occurs. The film "The Quiet Girl" should have had a low budget, but the director never did that show on screen.
It is full of kindness and compassion, but at the same time without leaving a trace of fear, the "The Quiet Girl" is beautiful and attractive even in its slowest moments. Director Bairead marked himself as a major genius to watch, brought a short story back to real film life, and gave us a hug that you might see in any film this year.
