I have seen A Quiet Place twice now, which should be sufficient testimony of the film's worth. I first watched the film because I found the trailer to be intriguing, I was hoping that the necessity for silence would be more than a gimmick, and I was pleased to find that "a quiet place" has a much deeper meaning than the trailer implied. I was captivated by the complex relationships that were explored in such an interesting and thoughtful way. I watched the film a second time because the first viewing was a surprisingly uplifting experience.
A Quiet Place isn't a perfect movie; it follows certain rules of the genre that require the viewer to suspend in-depth logical analysis. My primary criticism would be with its creatures, while much could be said for the artistic creativity in their production, overall their visual representation was anti-climactic; an unseen terror is far more effective.
Criticisms aside, A Quiet Place has on of the best "silence breaking moments" in recent history. I'm referring to a wonderful moment where two characters share one pair of earbuds. What are your favorite moments like this from other films?
