Soft & Quiet (2022)
Lost Potential: A Dive into Predictability and Propaganda
22 February 2024
The initial fifteen minutes of the film managed to capture my interest, presenting a premise that seemed promising. However, as the movie progressed, it quickly lost any sense of tension and fell into a predictable pattern that felt more like propaganda than genuine storytelling. What kept it somewhat engaging was the novelty factor, though this was short-lived as it soon became clear that the film struggled with relatability. Interestingly, the narrative seemed to lean heavily on a male character as the sole voice of reason, which felt rather one-dimensional. The performances came across as hurried, lacking depth and nuance, and the script itself left much to be desired, riddled with clichés and lacking in substance. It was evident that the film aimed to convey a specific message, but the approach felt heavy-handed, undermining any potential for a nuanced or impactful discussion. In summary, while the film started with a spark of intrigue, it quickly devolved into a disappointing endeavor that failed to deliver a compelling or thought-provoking experience.
