Drama | Ireland | Irish/English w/Eng subs | 91min Cast: Catherine Clinch, Carrie Crowley, Andrew Bennett, Michael Patric, Kate Nic Chonaonaigh Set in Ireland in 1981, this film tells the story of a young girl, Cáit (Catherine Clinch), who is sent away for the summer from her dysfunctional family to live with "her mother's people". These are Seán and Eibhlín Cinnsealach (Carrie Crowle & Andrew Bennett); a middle-aged couple she has never met. Slowly, in the care of this couple, Cáit blossoms and discovers a new way of living, but in this house where affection grows and there are meant to be no secrets, she discovers one. This is a small gem of a film. The acting is excellent and the simple but affecting story, with its setting in lush, green Ireland, packs an emotional wallop. This remarkable debut for writer-director Colm Bairéad offers a deceptively simple reminder that the seemingly smallest of stories can leave a large emotional impact. The Quiet Girl is based on 'Foster', a 2010 novella in English by Claire Keegan. The film was originally titled Fanacht ("Waiting"). It was filmed in Dublin and County Meath, with Meath locations including Summerhill, Moynalvey (including Fagan's Pub), Curraghtown, Garlow Cross, Trim and Clonymeath. The movie received 11 nominations at the 18th Irish Film & Television Awards (IFTAs) in March 2022, and won in seven categories. It has become the highest-grossing Irish-language film of all time.
