The Quiet B
This film featured a very unique concept that offered a lot of promise, and had a handful of scenes that had equally interesting concepts behind them... unfourtunately, it wasn't executed as well as it could have been. I believe it could have been a lot more dramatic, as it has enough material to set up countless "twists" and "cliffhanger scenes". It would add a sense of adrenaline to the film. The setting is destinctively dark, very little lighting being used, and metaphors (such as the lighting) are scattered throughout. The most obvious being the house in repair representing the work that needs to be done in the family unit. They also need repairing. It's one of those films that deals with a controversial issue, and doesn't downplay anything (including high school life... it's not all bunnies and rainbows; the cheerleaders are big sluts) So here's a B for The Quiet... for offering great concepts, just not knowing how to execute them, and for showing my perhaps Camilla Bell has SOME acting talent. (Though the acting of the two female leads weren't that great anyway)
