Tout doucement

Wow. This is one of those genuine cases of the less you know going in, the harder the film is going to hit. Everything seems normal until along comes - a shot of a pie. And nothing is the same from there out. This was a tough watch but also a really enjoyable one.

The whole film is shot as a continuous tracking shot, similar to Sam Mendes' '1917'. I understand that the films aren't actually shot this way but it doesn't bother me. I love the raw nature it provides the film.

I find this kind of movie infinitely more scary than any ghost or monster movie. These are the real horrors of the world. These are the things you need to be genuinely scared of.

This one is heavy, tense and often a very uneasy watch. But it is a great case of getting every last drop out of a limited budget and producing a highly memorable movie that will stick with people long after the credits roll. 9/10.

When I sat down to watch this film, I had no idea what to expect. The brief synopsis mentioned themes of racism, but it still didn't give much away.

The pacing was brilliant-never a dull moment. The film fully engaged me from start to finish. The shock value was masterfully executed.

The filming style, with its deliberate long pauses, added to the tension and drama. The entire cast delivered outstanding performances. I was so captivated that I ended up watching it twice just to absorb every detail.

It reminds us that racism isn't always loud and overt, sometimes it's soft-spoken and insidious.

Just remember, this film isn't for the faint of heart, so be warned.

From a story perspective, this movie has a lot of surprises that you don't want to ruin by reading about it before watching. On the other hand, you should probably have some idea of what you're getting into, especially if you need to avoid certain triggers. This movie gets pretty messed up, and it is filmed in a way that is meant to immerse you in the situation as much as possible: it appears to unfold in a single, unbroken take (said to actually be four takes, which is still impressive) with a you-are-there positioning of the camera. It gets a little shaky at times, but it's not found footage--it's more like the camera feels what the characters feel, such as the motion of a car. One thing I will mention is that I turned this movie on when I was almost ready to fall asleep, but once it started, I didn't look away. It can be tricky sometimes trying to decide to see a movie that has been labeled "disturbing." Sometimes it may end up not bothering you too much, other times you end up with images you never wanted in your head. You'll have to follow your own instincts, I guess. For me, Soft and Quiet had some tough stuff in it, but it ended up being a unique experience that was worth the risk.

This is one of the most distressing and disturbing movies I've ever seen. Shame on any network for picking it up. I cannot believe this was made. I cannot believe the writer is a woman. This is a no go unless you want nightmares. Very sick - with no real insights or meaning other than the reality of bullying. I felt the acting was terrible (especially the main blonde) and i'm just not buying this story. I don't think people would really learn anything about racism from this - and there was no justice at the end which was a HUGE miss. I would please save your 90 min avoid watching this terrible movie. Warning to any sensitive person to avoid.

A group of ladies is convened, they all have a common theme, disgruntled you could say, pure vitriol they spray, feel as if they've been let down, these diverse days make them frown, they don't have a lot to ask, from behind their hateful mask, so they're going to drop an anchor, that will make you grate with rancour, leave you stunned and disbelieving, as your eyebrows hit the ceiling, you may know people like this, living life in an abyss, a soft and quiet outer shell, but inside under a spell.

You probably haven't seen anything like this, top marks for individuality and the ability to get you shouting at the screen as you witness what you hope is full fat fiction but you know there are those who harbour these convictions.
