The Quiet Girl
In this Oscar-nominated Irish drama set in rural Ireland in the early 80s, a nine-year-old girl from a dysfunctional family goes to live with distant relatives for the summer. Quietly struggling at school and at home, she has learned to hide in plain sight from those around her. She blossoms in their care, but in this house where there are meant to be no secrets, she discovers one painful truth. While living with a middle-aged farm couple, she discovers a new way of living.
"A remarkable debut for writer-director Colm Bairéad, The Quiet Girl offers a deceptively simple reminder that the smallest stories can leave a large emotional impact." (Rotten Tomatoes)
"'The Quiet Girl' unfurls gently... it seems so simple but leads only to possibilities, and one word – said twice – that will be engraved upon your heart." (Austin Chronicle)
"As beautiful as it is devastating." (Boston Globe)
"Through heart-wrenching, nuanced and with arresting performances, 'The Quiet Girl' technically lives up to its name, but speaks volumes about the transformative power of what it means to be loved." (Globe and Mail)
