Baltimore — whose title refers to a village in County Cork, Ireland — begins in the midst of a heist, but it’s not a heist film. And its starting point is not just any heist but the largest art theft in history, pulled off by four Ira members led by a onetime debutante, Rose Dugdale. She’s the focus of Christine Molloy and Joe Lawlor’s concise and intimate film, and she’s played with a compelling mix of ferocity, focus and conscience by Imogen Poots.
As a few incisive flashbacks reveal, Rose grew up in immense wealth but never quite bought into the entitlement and expectations. At age 10, on her first fox hunt, her sympathies lie with the fox. On a museum visit, the teenage Rose baffles her mother when she’s moved by a painting’s focus on a Black woman; Mum sees a piece of pottery as the...

Most film fans know that this Sunday, just hours away, is the big award night. As a beloved former late-night talk show host used to see, even after he hosted the event, “In Hollywood, Oscar is king.” So, who’s going to wear that crown? While all the chatter is about the actors vying for the prize along with the ten (!) Best Picture contenders, this Friday we’ll get a chance to see a Best International Feature nominee that seems to be under everyone’s “radar”. But then, it’s a truly “soft-spoken” story, much like its subject. But don’t be fooled because the emotion is loud. much like its heartbeat, in The Quiet Girl.
And that tile character is nine-year-old Cait (Catherine Clinch) part of an ever-expanding family (another arrives soon) living in a ramshackle house in the mud of 1981 Ireland. She’s teased by her sisters, as...

A thoroughly dull if not totally unpleasant work of nicecore cinema, The Quiet Girl is the case of a film being easy to dismiss but hard to hate. Are the intentions “good”? If hedging your bets around such a self-congratulatory gentle tone and story is, then yes. Yet it’s hard to deny how the story might touch anyone who’s moving past the pains of a difficult childhood with emotionally distant parents.
The titular quiet girl, Cait (Catherline Clinch), is a sullen outcast at school and dually ignored by her parents at home. Her mom and dad have a number of other children to attend to, not to mention a pregnancy promising yet another wee Irish lad in the cramped house. The adult characters outside Cait are strategically shot at a distance, other than a glance at the nape of her mother’s neck while she argues with her...

Colm Bairéad’s appearance at Deadline’s Contenders: The Nominees event marks a year since his film The Quiet Girl first debuted at the Berlin Film Festival. A dual release in the UK and Ireland followed in May, and a slow international rollout has kept the director busy ever since. Indeed, as the film’s Oscar campaign enters the final stretch, The Quiet Girl is only now going wide across America: not bad going for a film with no stars that’s shot almost entirely in Irish, a language spoken by fewer than 2 million people worldwide.
The story of a shy and sensitive pre-teen girl who is sent to live with relatives after she becomes too much of a burden to her parents, who are expecting another child, The Quiet Girl is adapted from Claire Keegan’s novella Foster, which Bairéad discovered, quite by chance, in 2018.

It is the core of fairy tales, ancient and true, that wounds can heal, that change is possible, that goodwill and benevolence and honesty can lead the way to preternatural recovery. And sometimes a gate that needs to be opened and closed is all that stands between doom and a happily ever after - that is if you are well-prepared and up to speed to take on the challenge.
Colm Bairéad’s superb first feature, The Quiet Girl, is one of the best films of the year. Based on Claire Keegan’s story, Foster, it tells the tale of Cait (magnificent newcomer Catherine Clinch), a young girl in the rural Ireland of about 40 years ago, whose large family sends her off to distant relatives (Carrie Crowley and Andrew Bennett as the Cinnsealachs), virtual strangers, to spend the summer while...

Sent to stay with distant relatives in rural Ireland, nine-year-old Cáit brings love back into their weary lives – though this gentle story has sinister depths
50 best films of 2022 in the UKMore on the best culture of 2022
Colm Bairéad’s stunning directorial debut, about a nine-year-old girl fostered out to distant relatives for a summer by parents unable to cope, deserves to be as much of a classic as the 19th-century novel that becomes young Cáit’s bedtime reading, Heidi. In place of goats in the Alps, Bairéad and cinematographer Kate McCullough give us a dairy farm in the lush landscape of County Waterford, where the gruff Seán (Andrew Bennett) tends his cows, while the desperate-to-please Eibhlín (Carrie Crowley) teaches her to cook and fetch water from a well of unknown depth.

There is enough material for a short film in “The Quiet Girl,” an adaptation of Claire Keegan’s story that marks the first narrative feature from director Colm Bairéad, who concentrates for long stretches on visual effects with light that soon start to feel repetitive and pictorial rather than illuminating of character or story.
We first see our main character, a young girl named Cáit (Catherine Clinch), hiding in the tall grass of a meadow as her parents call her name; the characters in “The Quiet Girl” mainly speak in Gaelic, and so there are subtitles even if they speak in English. When Cáit runs back home, we see a crying baby, and her mother upbraids her for coming into the house with mud on her shoes.
Bairéad and director of photography Kate McCullough (Hulu’s “Normal People”) emphasize Cáit’s alienation from her surroundings in their compositions, but they...

Why do we have children? Cait’s Mam and Da would be hard-pressed to answer that, with a house full of sour teenage daughters, a toddler barely walking, another baby about to land and not enough money to pay a day laborer to bring in the hay. These are the kind of kids who go to school with no lunch.
With The Quiet Girl, Ireland’s entry for the Best International Feature Oscar, we are apparently in the late 1960s. As her family’s middle child, Cait (Catherine Clinch) has learned to be silently wary, lowering her eyes as she walks by the school bullies and fading into the back seat of her father’s car when he picks up his fancy woman in the middle of nowhere on a country road, snickering with her as they drive along with no one to see them. No one who counts, that is.

Few films explore both the shelter and the solitude of silence with the eloquence of Colm Bairéad’s gently captivating Irish-language drama The Quiet Girl (An Cailín Ciúin). While the neglected 9-year-old protagonist of the title disappears into the cracks of her overcrowded family household and is dismissed as a slow learner at school, her perceptive intelligence flowers over a warming summer in the care of distant relatives. As the almost equally taciturn man who becomes a much-needed father figure to her notes in the introverted girl’s defense: “She says as much as she has to say.”
Comments like that one, colored by a kindness largely unspoken, infuse this expertly crafted film with stirring grace and sensitivity. Adapted by Bairéad — whose background is in television and documentaries — from Claire Keegan’s short story, Foster, this is a work of unfailing restraint, which...

A silent child is sent away to live with foster parents on a farm in this gem of a film from first-time feature director Colm Bairéad
This beautiful and compassionate film from first-time feature director Colm Bairéad, based on the novella Foster by Claire Keegan, is a child’s-eye look at our fallen world; already it feels to me like a classic. There’s a lovely scene in which the “quiet girl” of the title, 10-year-old Cáit (played by newcomer Catherine Clinch), is reading Heidi before bedtime, and this movie, for all its darkness and suppressed pain, has the solidity, clarity and storytelling gusto of that old-fashioned Alpine children’s tale – about the little girl sent away to live in a beautiful place with her grandfather.
The setting is the early 80s, in a part of County Waterford where Irish is mostly spoken (subtitled in English). Cáit is a withdrawn little kid,...

There are different types of quiet. There’s the quiet of peace and serenity, and the quiet of repression and shame. There’s the quiet of contented, absorbing work. And there’s the quiet of fear, the kind of lonely silence a bullied child might retreat into when she hears the heavy tread of an impatient adult on the stairs, or the catcalling of other, brasher kids. Colm Bairéad’s gentle, straightforward, largely Irish-language “The Quiet Girl” has an ear finely attuned to all those types of hush, and to the tender feelings they can contain.
Nine-year-old Cáit, played in a lovely, worried debut by Catherine Clinch is never going to be loud. The easily overlooked kid in a household of scrappier siblings, she is first seen hiding in the fields while her frustrated mother, pregnant again, calls for her to come in.
