Best Irish-language film ever (The Biz Post)

(Madman Films) The Quiet Girl (Gaelic An Cailín Ciúin) is a delicate drama that follows Cáit, a shy 9-year-old who has been separated from her immediate family and left in the care of two distant relatives for the summer. After sun-dappled days spent milking cows, peeling potatoes, and fetching water from the well, the initially uncommunicative child opens up to her foster parents. Textured and tender, this award-winning film shows that home is where we feel loved. #TheQuietGirl

"A jewel...deeply moving tale or rural Ireland.
Already feels like a classic" (The Guardian).

• Who plays Cáit? First-time actress and newly minted child star Catherine Clinch! Bravo!
• Based on the short story Foster by Claire Keegan
• Directed by Colm Bairéad and up for an Oscar for best international feature film at the 95th Academy Awards
• (OPINION: It seems it's eerily like James Joyce's short story The Dead in terms of its sensitivity and Irishness if Irishness is a thing.)
