A Quiet Place

(Spoilers)

This movie is a modern classic. It has only been a few years and it is already iconic and engraved in our culture. There never is a dull moment in this movie, there is constant interesting character moments and well filmed action. It is very suspenseful, the movie establishes from the beginning that they are willing to kill off anyone when the kid is killed in the beginning. The movie does a good job at showing the character's emotions without dialog. The cinematography was very good, although at moments it felt a bit dull. A lot of my issues with this movie have to do with the world building. There are a lot of plot holes that really bug me, and at times it feels like the characters are conveniently stupid to drive the plot forward. I hated the stupid girl, she was just a plot device for most of the movie. There are many inconsistencies with what noises trigger the aliens, a character will make a loud noise and nothing would happen, but then make a quiet noise and suddenly the aliens hear it. I also didn't like the alien design, it felt derivative of other movie monsters like the Xenomorph. This movie has some problems but it is still very good. Hopefully John Krasinski will make more movies like this.

Everybody shush, important part coming up

This movie has an interesting idea and doesn't overstay its welcome. Feels like a pilot for a TV show where they introduce an experimental concept. Good for what it is.
