Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Quiet One (1949)

What a weird movie. Somehow it was Oscar-nominated for a documentary and screenplay in different years. It's clearly scripted so how's it a documentary? That oddness aside, I see why it would've felt so important when it was presented. Finally we have an answer to what's wrong with these angry kids!

But, with time, it's clear that though this makes some salient points, it's seriously problematic. And extremely boring.
