I had no idea what this film would be about when I put it on. It turned out to be a good film, well acted with a decent story line which comes together well. The story revolves around a young girl being sexually abused by her father whilst her mother carries on like some spoiled child due to her obvious mental problems. Along comes the inherited god daugther who is deaf so all good for daddy to carry on his favourite hobby. Or is it???

Well, where do I start...
I'd begin with saying the one and only reason I chose this film was because Elisha Cuthbert is in it. After watching the light hearted comedy "The Girl Next Door" which Elisha also appears in I thought that The Quiet would be similar. So knowing nothing about it and not even bothering to read the description I went ahead and got it. How wrong could I have been and what a film it was. This film has left me in a frame of mind I can only describe as lost and has taken me through a whole range of emotions while keeping me gripping for the next scene the whole way through. The subject matter is dark to say the least however the way it has been produced in my opinion is fantastic. Its the type of film that leaves your mind in a mess and leaves you contemplating it in a silent empty state afterwards.
Well worth watching!

I watched this film on the strength of other reviews.....pleased I did.
It is a dark and disturbing drama of a seriously dysfunctional but wealthy American family who 'take in' a deaf/mute young lady and bring her into their arms.....sort of!
Well acted,atmospheric and very,very disturbing.
Highly recommended.

I certainly didn't. Abused? Nope, it seems this unbelievable character was actively willing and encouraging. Read more

Challenging...but interesting
I was unsure about the pacing in this - it's a teen/family drama with dark shades of a Heathers type work - and while I don't see it's in that league it *is* quite a good work. Read more
