In his powerful debut film, director Leonardo van Dijl presents a gripping psychological drama that explores the hidden layers of abuse and its lasting impact.

Reviews

‘Julie Keeps Quiet is a tense, absorbing movie of silences and absences, of difficult terrain skirted around, of subjects avoided.’
★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

‘This impressive debut feature — cold as a crypt and yet enormously sensitive all at once — is never framed like a mystery, or at least not like the mystery that you might expect from its premise.’
★★★★
David Ehrlich, IndieWire
