The quiet girl

...earns its most emotionally powerful scenes because of the way that it so gracefully convinces us that it wasn’t even building toward them in the first place.

...exquisite debut drama set in rural Ireland.

It is a jewel.

The film is low on incident, but generous to its characters and invigoratingly sweet.

...det är så väldigt vackert berättat om vad kärlek – och bristen på den – kan göra med ett barn.

It's an extraordinary, tiny, intimate, and deeply touching story of a childhood suddenly filled with that most fragile of gifts: hope.
