Review of A Quiet Passion (2016) by Kim C — 11 Jun 2017

I'm glad I saw this even though it has to be one of the most depressing films ever. It's well acted but the direction keeps the viewer at arm's length. I'm not sure how anyone can depict a life with such limitations as anything but sad.

However, there are lots of quotes from her poems demonstrating how her spirit wasn't as fettered as her life. You leave feeling sad for the wasted potential and grateful for today's freedoms.
