Critics Consensus

A painfully timely horror-fueled thriller, Soft & Quiet forces the viewer to confront the ugly underbelly of modern American race relations.

The formal conceit forces you, in fact, to pay attention to how easily combustible incidents like the ones you see in Soft & Quiet are, and acknowledge how embedded into our modern firmament this prettified poison is now.

3.5/4

Soft & Quiet is extremely effective as a piece of educational agitprop.

Within 90 minutes, their monstrous worldview turns them into murderous home invaders, and though the timeframe is arguably an exaggeration, it gets the point across succinctly.

3.5/5

It is a risky film, not for all audiences, but it exposes the thoughts of white supremacy that are increasingly present in society. [Full Review in Spanish]

5/5

I could actually feel my stomach churning and see my arms trembling as I held them over my face ... I was anticipating a lot of discomfort and hard-to-watch moments in Soft & Quiet, but this film exceeded even those expectations.

The terrifying thing about this film is that it allows us to see how movements of destruction of others for ethnic reasons can emerge from unexpected places. [Full review in Spanish]

I think this was honestly one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen in. My life. Acting was terrible. Filming was terrible editing was worse. This should never have been released.

Wow this was a big surprise. This one continuous shot film was a lot of fun. The characters were good and the true Alfa female rose up but the ending left me wanting more. It's clearly leaving room for a sequel possibly or leaves it up to the imagination. Whatever the case it was a crazy good movie. Tim Treakle

Extremely disturbing - especially in today’s climate of brewing xenophobia.

It had potential but the script was predictable and became simplistic and boring. The characters were wooden and unconvincing. A missed opportunity.

I guess the filming style isn’t for everyone, it is hard to get used to but wow, what a story, and the ending? I was hoping for it and there it was. After watching this I have to wonder how many women there are in the USA right now that are just like these women, likely many and it’s a horrifying thought.
