Directed by and starring John Krasinski alongside his real-life wife Emily Blunt, A QUIET PLACE (2018) was recognized in the year of its release with an AFI AWARD, naming it among the most outstanding motion pictures of year. According to the official rationale, “A QUIET PLACE demands audiences stifle their natural instinct to scream – creating a tension so visceral that one can only wonder if there is any escape from the film’s silent terror. John Krasinski masters the cinematic senses as actor and director in this intimate family saga that doubles as a desperate fight for survival. In a world where the lightest footstep can herald instant death, the fears here are founded in the atavistic anxieties for the safety of loved ones – a truth personified in the strength and conviction of Emily Blunt’s indomitable maternal performance. A QUIET PLACE may beg for silence, but it demands to be seen.”
