Review of A Quiet Place (2018) by Lager96 — 05 Apr 2018

A Quiet Place is a breath of fresh air. This isn't your average thriller, but rather a smart and well executed film. From the very beginning you are placed into this world and feel as if you are with this family.

You want to be just as silent as they are being for fear of what might happen. There is no wasted scene in the film as every moment give more context to what's happening in the world. This is a very personal story about one family and what they need to do in order to survive.

The world building is very well done and interesting and the characters are fantastically written and acted. There is no weak link in the case. John Krasinski and Emily Blunt are perfect in their roles.

The kids are also fantastic, with Millicent Simmonds being a standout. The film builds tension in such a great way and leads to a great climax. John Krasinski has put himself back on the map with this film and I can't wait to see what he does next.
