We Said: “Expressive
performances by all four leads anchor the lean screenplay, necessary because
sign language isn’t always the best way to communicate interpersonal
relationships. […] A Quiet Place packs a lot of scares and technical precision,
making for one of the best monster movies in recent years.” Rating: 4 out of 5

see again on the big screen for a long time.” Rating: 3.5 out of 5

We Said: “When it’s about a
boy and a horse, it’s compelling. When it’s about being a homeless youth in
America, it’s compelling. Lean on Pete is a pretty solidly
crafted movie, even if it is too long for its own good.” Rating: 3.5 out of 5
