You can now watch THE QUIET GIRL from home. This beautiful and compassionate film from first-time feature director Colm Bairéad, based on the novella FOSTER by Claire Keegan, is a child’s-eye look at our fallen world. “The Quiet Girl” goes all the way and is groundbreaking for its language, as well as its success within a recent movement of accomplished Irish cinema. THE QUIET GIRL is significant for these cultural reasons but its power is encapsulated in the small insert shot of a cream-filled cookie placed on a table.
