A Quiet Place Review
This creative and often intense film serves up captivating novelty through surprising, deafening silence.
I love movies, tech, politics, games and more. I've been writing professionally since 1985 and, thankfully, have worked with some of the best editors in the business. I'm also a proud member of the Philadelphia Film Critics Circle and the Broadcast Film Critics Association (Critics Choice Awards).
This creative and often intense film serves up captivating novelty through surprising, deafening silence.
A farcical mixed bag that will work for some and land with a dull thud for others.
A psychological mind screw that’s both half-brilliant and half-baked.
Has all of the authenticity of a shiny $30 “Rolex.”
This is an action extravaganza.
Dialogue and immersive visuals deserve our attention despite monotone elements.
Body slams every ounce of morality that tries to bloom in its space.
The ingredients for a first-rate experience are all here until the story unfolds.
It’s equal parts fervently funny, grossly graphic and utterly absurd.
An origin story with no intention of avoiding the inevitable battle sequences.
The entire film feels like it’s stuck in a post-coital coma.
Edgy with a rough-hewn style and the grace of a gorilla ordering a pale Pouilly-Fuissé.
