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.

... A quiet film. A whisper of a film, really. And its unassuming nature makes it all the more effective.

Rated: B+

Austin Chronicle

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.

Rated: 4/5

Washington Post

In a world of noise — and noisy, jumbled films — this story of found family speaks loudest when saying nothing.

Rated: 4/4

“The Quiet Girl” is a perfect example about how an old-fashioned movie does not have to feel dated.

The Quiet Girl is a heartbreaking tale but the rare snatches of beauty we sometimes encounter in this world are worth all of the heartbreak and then some.

Diane V Beautiful film. The setting is magnificent. And the acting superb. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/02/23 Full Review EDIIE S A quiet but rich movie. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/02/23 Full Review Jennifer H This movie was absolutely beautiful. The acting, the cinematography, the beautiful story. An absolute joy. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/02/23 Full Review Karen B Loved the movie - didn't realize it was in Irish - or "Gaeilge" to be specific - and think actually that added to the experience. I had read the book, Foster, and found the movie engendered a similar emotional experience. It is short but packs a punch. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/23 Full Review Danie Utterly superb movie. What a movie should be, but so rarely is. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Mike Loved the ending...... Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
