The Quiet

The Quiet

The Quiet is a 2005 American drama thriller film directed by Jamie Babbit and starring Camilla Belle and Elisha Cuthbert. It focuses on a deaf-mute teenage girl, Dot (Camilla Belle) who goes to live with her godparents (played by Martin Donovan and Edie Falco) after her father dies, where she slowly learns the disturbing secrets of the family, primarily concerning their teenage daughter, Nina (Elisha Cuthbert). The film was acquired by Destination Films, which released this film in the United States theatrically through Sony Pictures Classics on August 25, 2006, and marketed with the tagline: "Isn't it time everyone hears your secrets?". The film's soundtrack features songs by Low, Cat Power, Le Tigre, and numerous Beethoven piano sonatas. The film was a commercial success, but many reviewers complained that it was sleazy, exploitative and difficult to watch, and that it was too serious to be satire, yet too camp to be taken seriously.

Nina Deer:
Life sucks, Dot. I feel like I can tell you this. I feel like I can be honest because you can't hear. Or can you? Look at you, eating your sandwich like a piglet while I talk. Strangely comforting... When I first met you, I mean when you first moved in, I hated you. I hated your face, your dumb blank stare. But now that I feel like I know you again that's all changed. It's so nice to know there's someone whos life sucks more than mine. [whisper] I'm gonna kill my dad Dot. Tonight. I hate him you know. I hate him and I love him. I hate it when he won't let me go out with my friends, but I love it when he *f***s* me. I hate it when he f***s me too, though. See how that works? Doesn't make any sense. [stop whispering, speak quiet] He likes it when I bite on his nipples though. I stick the tip of his nipple between my teeth... and I rub my tongue back and forth on it, like a windshield wiper. [emulates with Dot's finger] Drives him wild. I made him cum once just by sucking on his nipples. I didn't even need to touch his dick once. I love that I can tell you this sh*t, cause it's like it's off my chest but it's still a secret, you know? Michelle's dad's got a gun. I know where it is. But I figure it'd be too gross. You know, with Mom's decorating and all. Although she's probably already joining Judy Garland and Marylin Monroe in Pill Popper's Paradise. Just like an E True Maradin story. I'm gonna do it late. Mom won't wake up, nah. You can't hear. It'll just be me, my daddy, and a bullet. Michelle's gonna steal it for me this afternoon. [slams hand on table] Pow...
