Critic Reviews for The Quietude

Pablo Trapero's beautifully crafted multilayered drama that's also his most enjoyable film in years.

Jay Weissberg
Variety
Trapero's ambitious attempt to strike a unique tone somewhere between serious drama and humorous daytime TV falls awkwardly flat.

Deborah Young
Hollywood Reporter
Even when it inspires laughter it doesn't inspire much else. It isn't involving enough for you to ever truly care about how these many, many problems will resolve themselves, and not funny enough for the experience to be more enjoyable.

Michael Nordine

It's a very captivating film by Trapero about the emotional bonds of a dysfunctional family. [Full review in Spanish]

Yasser Medina
Cinemaficionados
A soap opera on the surface, it takes a while for The Quietude to rise above its plot of rich, unfaithful couples, random sex and sullen, unspoken grudges. When it does, it becomes a story of big lies that metastasize.

One problem with having so many skeletons in the family closet is that skeletons all tend to look the same.

Chris Knight
National Post
This outing simply tries to cram too much well-acted bad behaviour into closed spaces.

Ken Eisner
Georgia Straight
Gorgeously composed and with an evocative score by Papamusic, this film is a real treat for the senses. It may fundamentally be a soap opera but it's a supremely classy one.

Jennie Kermode
Eye for Film
In the stillness there are sharp dialogues, a poisonous sort of comedy, but what truly stands out is the films visual poetry. [Full Review in Spanish]

Paula Arantzazu Ruiz
Sensacine
One of the most disturbing and cruelly funny movies of the year. [Full Review in Spanish]

El Mundo (Spain)
The Quietude is the commendable jump without a net from a creator willing to put himself in a position of risk to remain the same. [Full Review in Spanish]

Jordi Costa
El Pais (Spain)
From Rolling Family (2004) to The Clan (2015), the exploration of family seems to have become one of the specialties of the [Argentinian director] Pablo Trapero. [Full review in Spanish]
