Namrata Joshi The New Indian Express A family on screen that feels like a real family, in both happiness and despair. Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Philip De Semlyen Time Out Quiet Life plays effectively on that deep seated parental fear: of not being able to protect your children or, worse, infecting them with your anxiety and uncertainty. Rated: 3/5 Sep 5, 2024 Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending The films satiric elements don’t always blend well with the docu-style approach, but Quiet Life is still a potent look at just how quickly our society can turn cold and ugly, even when the lives of children are at stake. Rated: B- Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Martin Kudlac ScreenAnarchy Consistently subverts expectations and challenges conventions in terms of genre, style and execution. Sep 25, 2024 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots Challenges audiences to confront the uncomfortable truths about the refugee experience, from the moral implications of a system that doesn’t protect the most vulnerable to the generic lack of empathy that feels so cold and harsh. Sep 2, 2024 Full Review Vassilis Kroustallis Film Is A Fine Affair Coolly appealing and executed with flair. Rated: 70/100 Sep 1, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
