Review of A Quiet Place (2018) by Michael R — 17 Jul 2018

Blind alien monsters with super sensitive hearing roam the earth killing any living thing they come across. Keeping silent is the best strategy for human's to survive. The Abbot's have an advantage over others in that one of their children is mute so the Abbot family is adept at communicating with American Sign Language-also known as Handspeak.

Evelyn and Lee Abbot fight a daily battle to keep their family alive in a terrifyingly hostel environment. So there is not much talking in this film. That is not a problem because cinema is a visual medium.

Stories are told with images. This is not something new. For the first thirty years of cinema, actors voices were not heard from the silver screen. The writers of Á Quiet Place' put in all the visual cues you need to understand what is going on without having someone spell it out to you.

You will not be disappointed by the cast. Every performance hits the mark. The movie is centered around the universal theme of the family so it is sure to touch a wide audience. This production is well worth ninety minutes of your time.
