Simmonds, who is 18 and deaf in real life as well as in the movie, is absolutely mesmerizing and will bring you to tears…several times. The children ( Noah Jupe and the award winning Millicent Simmonds) have grown both in stature and character, and really carry the film. The original cast: They’re back, with some stellar additions, namely ice-blue eyed Cillian Murphy and Djimon Hounsou.It doesn’t answer all your questions, but enough to give you additional perspective.
An intriguing prelude: We get a better idea of where those monsters came from, as it opens with Dad (Krasinski) and family on the eve of destruction, then flashes forward to the frightening spot where A Quiet Place left off.Krasinski has in fact over delivered, in a number of ways: The answer is a resounding “yes!” A Quiet Place Part 2 is all that and - get this - more! If you’ve been deliberating on whether or not you’re ready to return to the cinema, this film should convince you. Especially since we had to wait about an extra year to see it - it was slated for release during the pandemic, and postponed several times.īut now that we’re ready to go back the movies and A Quiet Place Part 2 can be seen in a theater near you, you may ask, Was it worth the wait? Can it possibly top its genius predecessor? That set expectations sky high for the sequel, A Quiet Place Part 2. The original script, which follows a family of five whose world has been overtaken by mysterious monsters who hunt by sound, causing them to have to live in silence, felt fresh and riveting. Even those who didn’t go for horror movies per se loved the suspense, the acting, the story and the craftsmanship. John Krasinski was beloved as Jim Halpert on The Office, but as a writer and director of a major motion picture? We didn’t quite know what to expect, even though it did star Krasinski’s brilliant wife Emily Blunt, and was produced by Michael Bay.īut when it hit the big screen, and we were all blown away.
No one saw (or heard) A Quiet Place coming. Lisa Johnson Mandell’s A Quiet Place 2 review says it’s even better the second time around, and we already can’t wait for the third.
