Summary of The Quiet
Jamie Babbitt (GILMORE GIRLS) makes his feature debut with this suburban melodrama tinged with the trappings of exploitation films and Gothic horror. Dot (Camilla Belle THE CHUMSCRUBBER) is a deaf and mute girl with a troubled past: her mother died when she was seven and now her deaf father has been run over by a truck. Things get much worse for Dot however when she moves in with the Deer family who make no attempt to hide their dark secrets from her. Patriarch Paul Deer (Martin Donovan) is having an incestuous relationship with his cheerleader daughter Nina (Elisha Cuthbert LOVE ACTUALLY) who spends much of her time lashing out at the new addition to the family. Mother Olivia remains oblivious shrouded in a haze of pills. Slowly the two girls come to a tenuous understanding with one another united in the secrets they share. The shocking conclusion is unexpectedly lurid given the quietness of the film s first half and the two actresses carry the material beautifully. The coldly lit interior of the family home which is undergoing renovations creates an utterly creepy backdrop and sets the mood for this tone poem of suburban distress.System Requirements:Run Time: 96 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: FOREIGN/LATIN Rating: R UPC: 043396165823 Manufacturer No: 16582High school cheerleader Nina Deer (Elisha Cuthbert) seems like the ultimate bitch in The Quiet. When Paul and Olivia Deer (Martin Donovan and Edie Falco) invite their deaf and mute godchild, Dot (Camilla Belle) to live with the family following the death of Dot's father, Nina plays Dot's evil stepsister. Dot silently persists as household dynamics unfold nightmarishly around her, revealing an unsavory affair that leaves the mother reaching for her bottle of painkillers. The more Nina reveals her secret fantasy to Dot, however, the more Dot feels compelled to step in. Director Jamie Babbit's film is rich with sexual confusion and sick psychology, making The Quiet surprisingly complex. Though Elisha Cuthbert's performance is strong, it is still a slowly paced film, and the sets, like dark, moody blue rooms in the Deer house, add unneeded melodrama. Still, The Quiet is a thriller about teen girls bonded to commit a heinous crime, and many will appreciate this variation on the tale of young female chivalry against monstrosity. --Trinie Dalton
