- Synopsis
- Popular cheerleader Nina Deer's (Elisha Cuthbert) world is turned upside down when her parents (Edie Falco and Martin Donovan) adopt a recently orphaned deaf girl, Dot (Camilla Belle). But in this suburban home, things are not what they seem. Dot's arrival puts a crack in Nina's idyllic social life and the dark secrets her family harbors soon become exposed. Nina's friends, including the handsome Connor (Shawn Ashmore), develop an odd fascination with the newcomer and confide in her their darkest secrets. Dot quietly shoulders the burdens of those around her, simultaneously hiding her own secrets as well.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"It's a complete fraud that never feels the least bit authentic in its efforts to titillate and shock."
-
"Approaches a serious subject with a portentousness that it hopes will be confused for art."
-
"'The Quiet' is in such bad taste that it's a shame the thriller doesn't make a better bad movie."
-
"A serious subject, handled in an exploitive and pretentiously arty fashion."
-
"Neither ambitious enough to take seriously nor sleazy enough to enjoy, 'The Quiet' flirts with the trappings of exploitation cinema without going all the way."
-
"Perhaps future generations of film scholars will embrace 'The Quiet' as a B-movie that problematizes the oppressive gaze, but for now, it's a misfire."
