It's a very captivating film by Trapero about the emotional bonds of a dysfunctional family. [Full review in Spanish]

A soap opera on the surface, it takes a while for The Quietude to rise above its plot of rich, unfaithful couples, random sex and sullen, unspoken grudges. When it does, it becomes a story of big lies that metastasize.

One problem with having so many skeletons in the family closet is that skeletons all tend to look the same.

This outing simply tries to cram too much well-acted bad behaviour into closed spaces.

Gorgeously composed and with an evocative score by Papamusic, this film is a real treat for the senses. It may fundamentally be a soap opera but it's a supremely classy one.

In the stillness there are sharp dialogues, a poisonous sort of comedy, but what truly stands out is the films visual poetry. [Full Review in Spanish]

One of the most disturbing and cruelly funny movies of the year. [Full Review in Spanish]

The Quietude is the commendable jump without a net from a creator willing to put himself in a position of risk to remain the same. [Full Review in Spanish]

From Rolling Family (2004) to The Clan (2015), the exploration of family seems to have become one of the specialties of the [Argentinian director] Pablo Trapero. [Full review in Spanish]

Uncomfortable, provocative, and audacious. [Full Review in Spanish]
