Luckily the acting benefits from having little dialogue, here it's a masterclass of expressions speaking louder than words. Appreciated hugely that 'A Quiet Place' didn't go down that route. Without constant dialogue, it let the actors' expressions and body language do all the talking, have seen horror/sci-fi films, and films in general actually, recently that have suffered from too much talk and exposition that it bogs the pace down and it's even more of a problem when the dialogue isn't good or interesting. Without constant music, the concept and atmosphere came through stronger, if the music was intrusive, obvious or repetitive they would not have worked anywhere near as well. Actually think it was the right thing to do. That wasn't a problem for me, in fact it was appreciated and it worked really well. Not everybody will like that the use of dialogue and music is sparse. It's a beautifully made film with a lot of style and atmosphere. When a film doesn't transfix or engage me it is less forgivable, but 'A Quiet Place' was utterly transfixing from start to finish from personal view. Was far too transfixed by the atmosphere and mood to criticise 'A Quiet Place' for lack of logic, plot holes (have never criticised a film for plot holes, find it a lazy and unfair criticism especially when it's the only thing mentioned in reviews that list them and say nothing about the film's overall quality) or not making complete sense. So it was refreshing and a blessing to have such a brilliant and unique concept executed in a way that was equally brilliant and as a film unlike any other seen by me. Have seen many films recently that have wasted good potential and ideas or not quite fulfilling them. Can understand though if it doesn't work for others, it is not a film that everybody will enjoy with its deliberate pace, very sparse use of music and dialogue and heavy reliance on atmosphere. Seeing it, 'A Quiet Place' turned out to be one of my favourites of the year too, its positive critical reception more than deserved. One of the year's best concepts and one of the most brilliant and unique for any film. Have liked Emily Blunt a lot in other things, have a lot of appreciation for the genre and absolutely adored the concept. 'A Quiet Place' very quickly became one of my most anticipated films of the year.
