Quiet

About This Movie

So, 'Quiet' is a really intriguing piece, you know? It captures this weird, almost claustrophobic atmosphere with Gert stuck in her room, battling anxiety. The pacing is deliberately slow, which amplifies that sense of isolation. The performances are raw; you can really feel Gert's struggle. The bird outside her window, that’s a clever device – it brings this surreal edge to the whole ordeal. When the bird says the world's ended, it’s almost like a metaphor for her own internal apocalypse. Practical effects are minimal, but they work. It leans heavily into themes of mental health, and the quiet moments resonate long after. Definitely a distinctive approach to storytelling, if you're into that kind of reflective cinema.
