Sound designers Luke Gentry and Ben Meechan from Sona (https://www.sona.co.uk/) join Flixwatcher remotely to review Luke’s choice A Quiet Place.
A Quiet Place is the directorial debut from John (Jim from The Office) Krasinski, starring Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe as the Abbott family. Set in the not too distant future, humans and animals have been nearly wiped out by sightless, stabbing, ruthless aliens with hypersensitive hearing where the smallest noises incur a deadly attack. Following a devastating tragedy, the Family is trying to survive and rebuild relationships.
A Quiet Place manages to blend post-apocalyptic science fiction and horror while sensitively exploring father and daughter relationships and grief. The inclusion of American Sign Language (ASL) as a form of communication and casting Simmonds who is deaf was a welcome move to inclusivity.
Scores
| Recommendability | Repeat Viewing | Small Screen Score | Engagement | Overall | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luke | 5 | 5 | 2 | 4 | 4.00000 |
| Ben | 5 | 3 | 3 | 4.2 | 3.80000 |
| Helen | 4.8 | 3 | 2 | 5 | 3.70000 |
| Kobi | 4.5 | 2.3 | 2.1 | 4.4 | 3.32500 |
| 4.825 | 3.325 | 2.275 | 4.4 | 3.70625 |
A Quiet Place scores highly on recommendability and engagement but low on small screen. The collective cinema experience simply could not be replaced at home – support your local cinema to keep films being made for cinema. The overall score for A Quiet Place is 3.70, we hope the sequel will come to the big screen soon.
