Movie Review: The Quiet Girl
4.5 stars out of 5First and foremost, this is not A Quiet Place III. Though it is a pretty quiet movie. The Quiet Girl, from Ireland, was one of the 2023 Oscar nominees for Best International Feature Film. It didn’t win, but it is terrific. I’m not sure when the movie is set — late […]

Movie Review: Ant-Man and the Wasp—Quantumania
