Stillness dominates, from the first shots of cornfields at sunrise to the final one that finds Helmer lying among them. When "It's All So Quiet" comes full circle, the title is virtually an understatement. Read full review

In the film’s exquisite handling of death as the ultimate – or in some cases the only – conduit for love, it arrives at an unmistakable final note of hope and renewal. Read full review

The character development here is understated but beautifully laid bare by a quartet of top actors. Read full review

The film is work, but it's upsetting, insightful, and sometimes gorgeous — admire its cold suns and withering cornfields. Read full review

Ms. Leopold’s previous film, “Brownian Movement,” was a stringent, even off-putting study of a delicate-looking doctor who has secret trysts with various men, and her latest feature feels gentler, shot digitally and suffused with the gray shadows of old houses and dim twilights. But it’s just as concerned with the immediacy of desire. Read full review

There's literally no way to miss the memo that It's All So Quiet is about dealing with the encroachment of death, as it's there in every scene. Read full review
