Mr. Bairead, What happened to the Quiet Girl happened to me. I grew up with an angry, cruel father, just back from WWII. My mother knew what I was going through so she sent me to spend summers with my grandfather and mother from the ages of 10 -13. Watching her receiving love and acceptance for the first time just as I did was powerfully moving. I often say that my grandfather saved me. His love and warmth gave me another model of what a man could be. I cried at the end of the film when she ran after her saviors. I'm 80. Thank you very much for the gift you've given me. D. Dworkin
This film is wonderful. I'm constantly praising and trying to get more people to see it.
So many scenes in this movie are ever lightly shimmering with a profound tenderness that will slowly and gently embrace your heart. I absolutely loved this film and it's at the top of my list of favorite movies this year. And I am sharing it with family and friends.
I just saw it yesterday and it’s such a beautiful film (had me crying at the end) loved it and will definitely watch again
The Quiet Girl is one of the best films I have seen in my, it's so heartbreaking and beautiful.
I am viewing this interview about a year after it was recorded, but three months after I saw the movie twice at the Kentucky Theater (two weeks apart). TH-cam algorithms continue to feed me videos from interviews, award shows, panel discussions, and I cannot get enough of them. Sarah, beautiful interview. We live in a world that can be harsh at times, and every once in a while something is created that expresses universal themes so subtly, so delicately .... I was profoundly moved by the story, by the performances of the three main actors but also what was drawn out of the supporting cast (most notably Cait's harried family), the cinematography, and in an odd sort of way, one can see that this is a documentary of a summer of a child's life as she experiences and appreciates a world beyond her own. Colm, I've read the book, and feel you've adopted the sentiments perfectly, the final scene's hug notwithstanding: the realization on Cait's parents' parts that she returned a different child with a hint of fear that their home environment's inadequacies were exposed. A sad movie, BTW, as we are shown how things can be and must return to the ways things frequently are.
I've come to feel more optimistic about the film's final scene. As you say, Cait returns home a different child. She now knows what it's like to live in a clean, organized home with loving caregivers. She knows that her family doesn't have to live the way they do, that a better life is possible. Also, Cait has literally faced death and escaped, and I can't help but feel that experience has strengthened her inside. When she runs after Sean and hugs him and calls him "Daddy", I think that's Cait's way of throwing down the gauntlet and telling her parents, especially Dan, this is what a real father is like, so start measuring up. She'll never be the kid who hides under her bed again.
@@user-bn9kr6nz5h I'm less optimistic about Dan getting the message. They way he was portrayed in the movie, he is aware of his shortcomings, but he has no desire to work on improving or addressing them.
Good interview - let the director speak - well done.
I was blessed to see this film on Amazon. I have Irish ancestry and am very drawn to its stories and music. I watched this movie three times in a row, I was so touched and moved by the story, the actors and locations, the way it was shot, the subtlety and beauty of it. I've been telling everyone about it. It's a masterpiece. Thank you so much Colm and Claire. Tears.
One of the most beautiful films I've ever seen ! Incredibly moving 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Saw it today. Fantastic film.
A genuinely touching film, a rare and special treat.
Excellent interview Sarah - one of the best I’ve seen with the director. Watched it last night, a beautiful film. You brought out the heart and soul of the director’s vision and journey.
I'm a New Yorker & have access to wonderful films like The Quiet Girl.I absolutely luvd it!! I hope it gets around the rest of the US
Saw on plane NYC-Dublin, loved it
Wow. I have to see this film
Yes, you do. The book/novella was wonderful, the movie adaptation is incredible.
Great film just saw it today
Maith thú Colm!
Gorgeous filum.
Well done 🙏
There was a radio clip of an all ireland hurling final from 1973 and other things seem to be from the 70s yet he said it was set in the early 80s .They were other things like the freezer which may or not have been common at the time.Doesn't really take anything away as such slightly less down to a tee than i thought .Lovely film .
I remember home chest freezers coming on the market in the 1960s. It was a real novelty to be able to buy meat and other things in bulk and freeze them. There were also a lot of news items on what could be frozen and what could not.
Trying to find a link to film
I'm wondering, I havent seen the film yet, what is the title of the book and the author? Is it translated into english please? Looking forward to seeing the Irish language film!
Claire Keegan - Foster. Yes it's in English
More Irish films
I want to know the end. I dont like movies that ends in the most exciting moment
The end is obvious. She returns to her troubled family, having experienced a world that taught her how things can and ought to be.
