The Quiet Girl
Currently nominated for an Academy Award for Best International Feature Film, this meditative drama set in '80s-era rural Ireland follows a young girl who is removed from her impoverished household and sent to live on a foster family's farm. The first-ever Irish-language film to be shortlisted for an Oscar, The Quiet Girl grasps a difficult emotional stage—one Letterboxd reviewer reported sensing "the feeling of when you're a child and things just happen to you and everything dimly feels like your fault."
