Product Description

One of the most moving and perceptive looks into the mind of a child ever filmed, The Quiet Room, a young girl witnessing the deteriorating relationship between her parents becomes immersed in her own world. Not having the words to express her emotions, she suspects that words themselves may the be the problem, so she stops talking. Through her silence, she attempts to influence her parents behavior, to force them to communicate properly with each other and with her. In the tradition of My Life as a Dog and Welcome to the Doll House, The Quiet Room gives voice to a child's thoughts, revealing her confusion, a cleverness, and a hopeful joy, as she attempts to change her world.

I saw this movie on IFC (The Independent Film Channel)and was quite taken with it. This movie offers the chance to see what a child or children see when mommy and daddy are no longer inlove and how it affects them. I will be purchasing this movie, it is a must have for my video library. Oh and the little girl in this movie will make you laugh as she provides her on analytical take on her parents.
