CRITICS OF "The Quiet"
Cinema Crazed
A hilariously bad and utterly ridiculous piece of melodrama touted as a thriller.
Rather than an indictment of depravity, the movie quickly becomes a particularly cynical example of it.
The exposition is so heavy-handed, the producers might just as well distribute a printed handout to hapless ticket buyers.
In retrospect, it is Belle who manages to acquit herself best with a role that never quite makes sense, but affords her some expressive, silent sequences. Surely she will find other film work and then quietly drop The Quiet from her biography.
Bordering on camp and loaded with lesbian undertones, this wretched drama plays like a high-school horror flick that trades monsters and mayhem for an overdose of force-fed cruelty.
BlackFilm.com
What on the surface initially seems like your typical bitchy blonde-versus-ostracized newcomer teensploit is merely this taut psychological thriller's point of departure for the exploration of a more sobering set of circumstances.
TheMovieChicks.com
The film's producers would like us to keep this quiet... this is supposed to be a thriller, but the only time we were thrilled was when it was over.
Film Journal International
Illustrate[s], once and for all, that it's possible for a film to be soooo slow and ponderous it can appear, at times, to come to a dead stop.
The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)
The fatalistic woe becomes an indie film mockery. It's truly adolescent.
Reno Gazette-Journal
Starts with an overwritten voice-over and ends with events so baffling as to seem satirical.
One strength of The Quiet is that it does not deal exploitatively with the incest/sexual abuse issue in its quest to generate tension.
A creepy family drama that reeks of pretentiousness.
