Andrew Kennedy (199 KP) rated A Quiet Place (2018) in Movies
Sep 8, 2020
John Krasinski delivers a truly original piece of film. A story of a family surviving in a world where silence must be maintained, otherwise you get killed by some monsters. I was glad we didn't get a load of pointless explanation about the monsters, our knowledge is limited to what we see in the main characters basement.
As you would expect a film with very little dialogue has to rely on score and cinematography both of which work to amazing effect. Acting from all the family is spot on with the actress that plays Regan a very strong performance as also is Emily Blunt.
A Quiet Place is at it's best when it is just silence, even the viewer is scared to make a noise.
Only negative, maybe the ending isn't that great but that's been very critical.
This is a superb original concept and let's be honest there hasn't been many of them recently
