Soft & Quiet

The Daughters for Aryan Unity first hold an intimate conference at Wannsee with pastries and coffee in a thermos, only to later cross the red line and demonstrate that Soft & Quiet do not allow for the contents of these minds. Four filming attempts produced a disturbing story where frustration turns into despair, hatred into fear, and confident leadership into submissive surrender to screaming. The final seconds confirmed earlier hints, and I believe that in the correctional facility, the well-bred Colombian lady with John Leguizamo’s mustache is already preparing root vegetables.

A fairly imaginative and suffocating directorial debut that initially feels like an intimate conversational drama, but at one point it swings a hundred and eighty degrees and by the finale feels like a completely different film. Racism, xenophobia, uppity nannies, home invasion, torture and much more, all in one film - the less I give away the better. In any case, I don’t think this mix works very well together, and although it's an uncomfortable and memorable experience, I'm not exactly sure what the film was trying to convey. (04/12/2022)

A nasty film about nasty people. An intense but by no means enjoyable experience, in fact I can't remember the last time I had such an awful feeling about a film. I certainly don’t want to watch it again, ever. This real-time adventure with "decent people" is just too real, give me my demons, ghosts and werewolves. Anyway, many users will probably recognize themselves in this, heh. (03/11/2022)
