Somewhere Quiet

Somewhere Quiet has a woman who has been kidnapped but now safe arrive at her husband's rural family home in Cape Cod. She is struggling with her emotional stability after her ordeal. He appears unprepared for the realities of her situation and state of mind. Also present is his female cousin who presents an odd approach that is demeaning and dismissive of the protagonist. What unfolds is the internal trauma of the protagonist's psychological grasp of reality in context of a wealth disparity, and the colonialism bias of White Old School Wealth. This creates for heavy complications as the protagonist tries to understand what is occurring around her. The tension builds steadily through the film, and the lens of reality becomes confused as the protagonist isn't certain what is real. And it works as a personal psychological thriller. The cousin has a benign malevolent demeanor, the husband either seems incompetent or malicious; both actors do well in these contrary roles. The protagonist creates a captivating portrait of a woman damaged and fighting for herself.

Excellent movie, it left me thinking about it for days. Highly recommend if you enjoy intelligent, palpably tense, slow burning, menacing, suspense thrillers. I think the people that have given negative reviews probably don't enjoy movies that make you think too much or draw some of your own conclusions. In my view it's a haunting depiction of how suffering a severe trauma "rewires your brain and lives in your body". Meg's struggle to readjust to life after being kidnapped pulled me in and gripped me to the very end. The distrust, the isolation, deciphering what was real or perceived, all of it was brilliant. Incredible writing by Olivia West Lloyd. Incredible acting by Jennifer Kim.

I always enjoy movies like this : just enough given to leave you thinking, little clues to piece together a story, ambiguous turns that leave you confused and when hoping for a typical wrap it up ending, it makes you use your BRAIN instead and really think. I've never written a review before, but I've read some from movies similar to this that have left me befuddled, and as I researched, I tried to find some reviews that piece together the mystery of a well crafted and well directed movie. So in the sense of helping those confused, that enjoy a slow burn of a movie that keeps you throughly entertained yet wanting a little more I'll add my two cents. Now mind you, I've only watched it once and just finished it. Now the obvious is that the beginning of the movie is the ending, which begs the question is that- what we just witnessed- was that her capture and psychological torture? And did she finally escape her captives. I come to that conclusion because of the missionary work of her "husband's" family in Korea given to us by the picture on the wall and the tacit conversation about it. Was she always a mind slave captive by this sanctimonious, over-bearing imperialist family? Does that explain the visions of the old woman in the movie because she is able to remember repressed memories as she becomes more aware of her imprisonment. This is my first take on this. There is a reason that the beginning is the ending of the movie, there is a reason the husband tried to kill her, The clues to piece together are their. I love movies like this, but they are far and few in-between. Ken.

To those giving sh- reviews - they must not get this movie. This is a very entertaining movie with great acting portrayals and an interesting and unpredictable plot. It has tales of PTSD, trauma, and tells the story of the "final girl" AFTER the movie ends. It's an interpretive movie where you have to use your imagination to decifer what happens. If you'd pay attention everything gets wrapped up in the end but leaves you pondering as well. I love movies like this. Those saying this isn't a horror- This is literally horror. Just not a jump scare gore film. Enjoy the psychological ride it takes you on.

Not a good moveie, i do not reconend, cant belive they had they adassity to call this a horror movie, ended of with you not knowing anything and wasn't scary and it had no context, scott needs to be looksmaxing cause it ain't done for him yet, otherwise i hate the cast and the acting they put no effort into this and i cant even belive this is a movie (there is also no skibiti toilet so that easily makes it a 1 star) do not waste your time sitting down and watching this terrible film. Once again i do not recommend this movie do not listen to these 10 star ratings they have got to be paid to even say this is good, ( there are no gyatts in this film)

My husband picked this movie, he's notorious for picking bad movies but this was the lowest of the lows. It's starts off interesting, woman gets kidnapped, woman escapes, woman finds a man in the road and steals his truck and finally gets back home. Her husband takes her away to a family home where his odd cousin shows up. You watch thinking something is about to happen except they play a game, they eat, they may or may not have gone swimming, her husband may have made out with his cousin, there may or may not have been an old woman in the woods, she ends up in a basement then gets out of the basement, then there's more swimming for some unknown reason, then she ends up on a road driving a truck, then stops driving. The end. I wish I could get those 2 hours of my life back it was that bad.
