Silence is Survival: A Review of 'A Quiet Place'
The movie A Quiet Place throws us right into the world which exists in such a considerable measure, and silence is its main value. A modern family has to live in constant fear since small sound is enough to attract the attention of strange creatures living in an apparently desolate world. The movie conveys very well the feelings of hopelessness and unreality, keeping at the same time the audience engaged and interested throughout the whole movie. The tone of the movie is tension, accompanied by a low-pitched quietness that tells so much. What remained is meditation on being in constant fear and gaining hope by any means necessary, if you needed it anyway Emily Blunt and John Krasinski give stellar performances as parents willing to do anything for their children. They asked a young deaf actor Millicent Simmonds to play a deaf character, and she excellently embodied all the contours of a fragile girl who is nevertheless strong and self-sufficient. Every performer delivers deeply felt passion that enriches and enlivens the main characters’ portrayals.|Krasinski directs with great detail and even sound is a character here. That capability to make some tension and unease with few words is great. Krasinski composes scenes of both small interpersonal space and large, epic setting, proving once again that he plays well behind the camera as well as in front of it.

The flow of the movie is very well done here, there is not a moment where the tension is low. Each cut brings the tension closer to its maximum, maintaining a consistent pace that makes the viewers watch.
As we see, pacing in the film is really tight, building up tension and its sudden escalation. This rhythm ensures that the audience is never let off the hook completely, so to speak.
While dialog is limited, each line matters. I have found that integrating a sign language brings more authenticity to the film and is also the most powerful storytelling instrument that deeply and gently hits viewers’ hearts with rather simple and childish expressions.
At the same time, it can be distinguished that the film completely overemphasizes the opportunity to impress with sound and non-sound A few times, the viewer can predict that the events are going to turn out to be quite cliched in their climax. However, with these minor flaws, they do not really take anything away from the film.
