AN CAILÍN CIÚIN

The Quiet Girl

Maybe this is the perfect film.

Sublime cinematography…. Lighting, focus, framing

Beautiful locations, casting,

Story unfolding slowly…. So much cruelty, so much kindness, the absolute need for love and affection, the differences between how men and women see a situation

Outstanding moments … when Eibhlin brushes Cait’s hair and the bond of trust forms within them. When they go to the well for the first time, when her foster dad leaves her the biscuit

I just loved this beautiful Irish film

And of course the Irish language

I want to see it again as soon as I can

My blip is when I had tasty lunch with my companion before the film in the IFI Dublin today
