Review of The Quiet (2005) by Craig S — 26 Sep 2007
Directed by: Jamie Babbit.
Starring: Elisha Cuthbert, Camilla Belle, Shawn Ashmore.
This actually came as a surprise, I had heard mixed reviews for this film well over a year ago and with me living in New Zealand and having to endure long delays in films and no marketing, I finally found the movie on DVD years after release.
Now I will say the film isn't for everyone, some will say that it is a very slow film, which is actually intentional and it gave Elisha Cuthbert time to give a very surprising performance, showing a lot of range. The themes raised are quite interesting and disturbing, at times, there are moments of greatness but as a whole, the film doesn't quite hit the mark. But still, a very surprising film, with very focused direction and some interesting themes raised.
Overall, an intentionally slow moving film that shows Elisha Cuthbert as an amazing upcoming actress.
