Rookie-Critic's Top 25 Films of 2022: #6: The Quiet Girl (dir. Colm Bairéad)

Here's another case to be made for my crazed weeks-long binge to watch everything nominated at the Oscars this year. I would have never heard of this film if it hadn't been nominated for (and, in my opinion, should have won) Best International Feature. The story of a little girl, Cáit, who is shy, reserved, quiet, and timid by nature. This causes her family to view her as a burden, as a thing to be worked around instead of interacted with. So much so, that they pawn her off on a foster family when summer hits so they can go about their lives without worrying about her. From the instant the film starts, my heart bled for Cáit. While I wasn't as severely timid as she is in the film, and I had a family that was very supportive of me, I was intensely shy and had a hard time interacting with others as a kid. I can't even imagine living life like that under a roof that doesn't feel safe, where you not only feel like you're holding everyone back, but are basically being told and treated as such. To feel like you are unworthy of love because of something you haven't been given the tools to change as a 9-year-old is debilitating in a major way, and The Quiet Girl seeks to show the power of how much even a little caring and love can do. The film moves itself along slowly, taking its time in building its characters, showing their growth gradually, and at a pace that is so believable, it took me until right at the film's end to notice what the whole thing had been building up to. The last two words of the film, delivered with the emotional depth of a thousand oceans by newcomer Catherine Clinch (who plays Cáit), shattered any possible wall I had around my heart and had me in a puddle of my own tears as the credits rolled. With those last two words, everything clicked into place, and I understood what everything I had been watching for the last 90 minutes had been for. To put yourself in Cáit's shoes for that final moment, you realize that new life had been breathed into a concept that she probably didn't know could be any more than what she already knew. This film is about care, about growth, and about the power of what a truly loving home can do for a child that feels like they don't belong.

Currently available to rent/purchase on digital (iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, etc.). Sadly, no Blu-ray/DVD has been announced for a North American release yet. I hope that changes soon.

OMG AN CAILÍN CIÚIN!!! LETS GOOO

'Cillian Murphy is now the favourite to bag the Oscar for Best Actor after BoyleSports slashed his odds to even money from 6/1.

The Cork-born star of Oppenheimer has been backed gradually as Christopher Nolan’s biographical thriller smashes box office records and he has now moved ahead of Leonardo DiCaprio to snag one of the biggest prizes at next year’s Academy Awards.

DiCaprio’s drift to 9/4 from 7/4 in the betting for his role in Killers Of The Flower Moon means he is now second favourite to Murphy.

Martin Scorsese’s western drama is set to hit cinema screens in October, but at 11/4 it trails Oppenheimer at 7/4 in the race for the Best Picture gong...

Dubliner Barry Keoghan is back as an infatuated student in thriller Saltburn and his chances of walking off with the Oscar for Best Actor have already been trimmed into 14/1 from 20/1.

Lawrence Lyons, spokesperson for BoyleSports, said: “There could be a green assault on the red carpet again next year with Cillian Murphy now in the box seat for an Oscar and Barry Keoghan is coming into the picture before his new movie has even dropped.”

Meanwhile, the Irish Film Institute (IFI) has announced that Oppenheimer has become the highest grossing film for the IFI — overtaking the Oscar-nominated An Cailín Ciúin.

IFI Cinema Programmer Kevin Coyne said: “The success of Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer at the IFI is a tribute to the director’s ability to create mature, thought-provoking films that are best enjoyed and appreciated on the big screen, with an audience of fellow film fans.

“We are particularly pleased to be able to present the work of someone who is such an advocate for the cinema experience on this magnificent 70mm format, as he prefers.”'

k a lil thing for @newsiesfixation and @crutchie-69 love ya boys/p <3

prompt: "i was only defending myself."

eel hummed as he moved around the kitchen, some lullaby he had heard spot sing to his littles a few times.

"suil, suil, suil a run, suil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin, suil go doras agus ealaigh liom. is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan."

as he padded back to the stove to stir his stew, he heard the footsteps of his lover behind him.

"buonanotte, mi amore." he said over his shoulder, not looking up from his cooking as a pair of arms wrapped around his waist and a head tucked itself into his neck. a grin tugged at his lips. "hard day?" he said, bringing the hand that wasn't stirring the pot up to run his fingers through shoe's hair. a grumble came from the boy behind him, and his arms wrapped tighter around eel's waist.

"got a headache." shoe mumbled. the shorter boy clicked his tongue in sympathy as he finally put the spoon down and turned to embrace his lover. "mi dispiace, amore mio. do you want anything or just some silence?" eel kept one hand on shoe's back as he reached up between them to loosen the tie at the other's neck, unbuttoning the first button at his neck.

the brunet grumbled, and pulled eel close again as his boyfriend laughed. "okay big guy, lets get you to the couch, hm?" he guided shoe towards the door, when behind him the kitchen door flew open with a bang.

"-and the same to ya mother, you son of a-" the raven-haired hurricane that launched itself into the kitchen shouted outside.

"charles britney penelope cooper." eel said sharply. dimes' mouth shut mid-shout as he turned to face the older boys, brow furrowing as he saw them entwined. "who in the name of maria la madre de dio are you yelling at? youse knows if ya got trouble, i'll handle it." zeke's eyes widened as he took in the scuffed up state of his son baby brother young friend. "and why is youse covered in bruises? what the hell is youse doin'?"

dimes opened and closed his mouth, looking rather like a fish with his eyes wide as they flicked between eel and shoe.

"is you's sweethearts?" he finally exploded.

shoe immediately tried to step back from his lover but eel put a hand on his waist and pulled him back. "and if we is? 's not what we's talkin' bout here, bub. who are you shouting at, and why do ya look like ya got run over by a carraige?" dimes shuffled his feet and fiddled with the tie hanging from his collar.

"charlie-"

"i'se was shoutin' at some punks from the bronx, okay?" he said, hating the way his given name sounded in ezekiel's mouth.

" from the bronx? you knows we's queens, right?" eel said, disbelieving. dimes fought the urge to roll his eyes as he glanced skeptically between the two older boys.

"yeah, i do, but-" dimes started before eel cut him off.

"so why's you covered in cuts n bruises, huh?" he asked.

dimes stomped his foot, trying to get him to listen. "i told ya, they's punks! an i was only defending myself. you should see how they looks." he crossed his arms sulkily across his chest, looking at his shoes as eel huffed a disbelieving laugh. "uhuh, i'm sure your five-foot-even-ninety-pound ass got some real good sluggers in."

dimes gaped, getting frustrated. "they followed me here! they said- they said my pa- they said he didnt want me and that's why he's gone." the short fourteen year old looked like he was eight in that moment as he shrank into himself. seeing this, eel immediately felt horrible as he let go of shoe and kneeled in front of dimes.

"hey. dimes. charlie, look at me, buddy." he ducked his head to catch the watery grey irises of the boy in front of him. "hey. you never. never. listen to what those punks have gotta say, y'hear me? they're just tryna rile ya up, and you 'n i both know that ain't true. ya pops loved ya, i knows it. if he didn't, he wouldn'ta gotten ya this tie, huh?" eel brought the tie up so dimes would look at it, rubbing the silky blue material between his fingers for emphasis. dimes nodded as a tear ran down his dirty cheek.

eel wiped it away, keeping his hand on the younger boy's face as he spoke softly. "buddy, you know that ya pop loved ya, and even though he ain't here right now, youse got me 'n shoe, alright? i will never-" he poked dimes' chest with his other hand. "-ever leave youse, okay? neither of us will. youse the best gambler we got! if we let ya wander off too often, who would cheat all the guys outta their money?" that got a watery chuckle out of the grey eyed kid, bringing a smile to eel's face.

"if they ever- ever bother youse again, ya tell me, alright?" dimes nodded, sniffing as eel pulled him into an awkward hug, as he was still on his knees, and dimes was slightly taller than he was the last time they did this. but neither let go, despite their discomfort.

"m sorry i said that, kiddo. i'm sure ya can throw a real good punch." eel whispered into dimes' ear, smiling. dimes laughed, pulling back and twisting the strap of his bag. eel stayed kneeling in front of him, making sure he was really ok now. dimes looked up and made eye contact with him and smiled slightly, before catching sight of shoe behind him, and frowning again. "so- so youse are really sweethearts?" he mumbled.

eel flushed and chuckled as he stood up to lean on the table again. "yeah, we is. youse okay with that?" the small dark haired boy said nothing. "aww, c'mon, its shoe, dimes. shoe. you love shoe." eel wheedled, seeing the hesitance. his eyebrows sunk lower on his face as he walked past the two of them to go out to the common area. eel put a hand on his chest before he could leave. "bub. what's wrong."

dimes brushed the hand off, shuffling towards eel and giving shoe a wary stink eye. "if- if ya start bein sweet, then you- then..." he trailed off, swaying nervously. "then what, dimes?" shoe asked. dimes frowned again, pressing himself against eel's side. "then- then eel won't spend no more time with me." he whispered, barely audible. eel grabbed his shoulder and brought him in front to face shoe and talking into his ear. "buddy, what'd i just promise ya?"

"that you wouldn't leave." dimes mumbled dejectedly.

"uhuh. and that means ever, ya know that?"

he nodded, looking at shoe still.

"just because me n' shoe're together now, don't mean i care bout you any less, okay? i will always cheat at cards with you, or scam people on the streets, alright? ya just gotta ask."

dimes turned around and hugged the brunet boy, burying his face in his shirt. "oh- okay, yep, okay i'm not gonna cry this is fine." eel patted dimes' back, blinking hard.

"i don't wanna share you." eel heard between sobs.

"buddy, ya don't hafta. i'll only spend a little more time with shoe, alright? nothin else'll change, i swear."

dimes looked up at eel, eyes watery. "swear on ya ma?" he whispered.

eel laughed and ruffled the black haired boy's head. "swear on my ma's left buttock, kiddo." he gently pried dimes off of his torso and pushed him towards the door slightly. "go tell the boys finner's near ready, k?" dimes wiped his eyes as he nodded, walking out the door.

shoe looked at eel as the other watched fondly after the raven haired boy.

"you really love him, don't you? he's like your son."

eel sputtered, but didnt deny it. "well, if he's my son-which he isn't!-then he's yours now, too, harv." he said, smiling as e walked over and wrapped his lover in a hug. "sorry i had ta tell him we'se together." he said into the taller boy's neck. shoe shook his head. "was bound to happen anyway. better he heard it from us and not from a rumor." eel chuckled and shook his head, drawing back slightly. "that's that voice of reason i love." he pressed a kiss to his lover's lips, only pulling away when the stew started to bubble on the stove.

RAAAH THIS WAS SO FUN

i didnt cry writing this you did

[rogha]

i know it was an issue a couple of years ago with another film but the banshees of inisheerin and an cailin ciuin both getting nominated in the catagories they got nominated in really does drive home that for hollywood a “foreign film” is one that is Not In English regardless of who colonized whom and why that might affect language
