Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter And what started off as something political becomes something deeply and painfully personal. Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Sarah Manvel Movies We Texted About Just because your son does horrible things doesn’t mean you stop loving him. The Quiet Son examines these complex issues with the rare combination of clear eyes and an open heart. It's a remarkably powerful film. Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Damon Wise Deadline Hollywood Daily It makes some obvious points, but those points are still valid, and the Coulins have crafted a gripping societal drama about the quagmire that is modern politics. Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Boyd van Hoeij Screen International An utterly conventional domestic drama whose focus feels too narrow to be saying much about the country today. Sep 5, 2024 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com While The Quiet Son doesn’t sermonize, it’s unveiled in a clear-cut, straightforward manner which doesn’t suggest there’s any real answer for prevention. Instead, as is often the case, it’s about humans having to deal with picking up the pieces. Rated: 3/5 Sep 5, 2024 Full Review Savina Petkova AwardsWatch A moderately political story that’s decently acted and very French, this one might have been better suited for VOD instead of the Venice line-up. Rated: D+ Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
