The Quiet Room

About This Movie

So, 'The Quiet Room' is one of those curious little films that really gets under your skin. It’s about a young girl, just seven, who takes a vow of silence as her parents spiral into conflict. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and you can almost feel the weight of her choice. It’s not flashy—more of a slow burn that lets you sit with the emotional fallout. The performances, particularly from the girl, are understated but impactful; you can see the inner turmoil without a single word spoken. I find the pacing interesting, allowing moments of stillness to linger, which really emphasizes the themes of isolation and despair. There’s something haunting about it that sticks with you.
