A Quiet Place
{5/5} “Who are we, if we can’t protect them?”
A Quiet Place, released in 2018
After an apocalypse, a family lives on a farm with no one else around. They forage for useful items, they play games. But they can’t make any sounds at all because monsters kill anything that makes a sound. Tragically, that’s what happened to one son. The only place they can go to make noise is a waterfall.
The movie follows through on its premise in a terrific way. It’s intense at times.
It’s about what you can do when you plan ahead and work together.
Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, married in real life, are amazing as parents who are scared but will do anything for their children.
Stars Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe. Directed by John Krasinski (The Hollars). The mysterious music is by Marco Beltrami.
