The Quiet Girl is, quite simply, a genuine work of art by a genuinely empathetic artist, and one of the single most moving and heartfelt movies from any country in the last decade. -Rolling Stone
Colm Bairéad’s multi-award-winning Irish-language drama, might be small in scale, it’s one of the most EXQUISITELY REALIZED films of the year.
-The Guardian
There may not be a movie more expressive of the Holiday season’s benevolent ethos than this hushed work about kith and kindness. CRITIC'S PICK!
- The New York Times.
To be wanted. To not be wanted. That simple tension is the heart of The Quiet Girl, an EXTRAORDINARY, tiny, intimate, and deeply touching story of a childhood suddenly filled with that most fragile of gifts: hope. - The Austin Chronicle
One of the most authentic, naturalistic, and beautiful Irish films ever made. Sorry Inisherin, but this is as close to perfect as Irish film gets. - Collider

Acclaimed writer-director Rebecca Zlotowski draws from her own life to depict the emotional trajectory of Rachel (Virginie Efira), a schoolteacher in Paris whose desire for a biological child seems increasingly unlikely to be fulfilled (as she’s informed by her gynecologist in a delightful cameo from Frederick Wiseman). When Rachel enters into a relationship with car designer Ali (Roschdy Zem), he’s slow to let her know that he’s a single father, but once she finds out she quickly grows to love his precocious daughter, Leila.
