Critic Reviews for The Town Is Quiet (La Ville est tranquille)
All Critics (35) | Top Critics (13) | Fresh (25) | Rotten (10)
For all of the apparent naturalness on screen, Guediguian's grim vision comes off as far too calculated.
It's a strong viewing experience but definitely worth the effort.
It's a pitiless film, uncompromising in what it shows us.
Always, one gets the sense that this film is coming from some place real, and terrible.
...the film's characters are familiar, real-life people, whose sadness reaches out from the screen.
La ville est tranquille is not depressing, but a sense of sadness permeates the film. As dramatic as it is, Guediguian's point is well taken: this town will remain quiet.
