Leave your thoughts about Quiet Chaos.
| At the Movies (Australia)David StrattonA respectable and always watchable film about bereavement, well acted and well made. |
| Metro (UK)Larushka Ivan-ZadehFancy a good bit of foreign art house of a Saturday night? You've found your pick of the week. |
| Critic's NotebookMartin TsaiThere are moments of truth in "Quiet Chaos," such as when Pietro resorts to recreational drugs and rough sex, but those moments are far too few and much too far between. |
| Times (UK)Kevin MaherThe boldest stroke in Nanni Moretti's Quiet Chaos is in what it doesn't do, rather than what it does. |
| Time OutDave CalhounA thoughtful portrait of the purgatory of grief that prefers small incidences and exchanges over grand gestures of sentiment and revelation. It's sad - but never cloying. |
| Urban CinefileAndrew L. UrbanIt's like a psychological study, but performed with grace and humanity |
| Total FilmChris HicksQuiet Chaos feels thin and, especially towards the end, increasingly implausible. All the same, Moretti's simpatico screen persona just about carries it. |
| Financial TimesKarl FrenchThis is a slow-burning, very well acted film that contains, almost disconcertingly, a graphic sex scene, a strange star-cameo very late on, and something close to a Hollywood ending. |
| London Evening StandardDerek MalcolmQuiet Chaos is understated and restrained, perhaps too much so. |
| Film4Anton BitelGrimaldi's elegantly understated film is a Groundhog Day of grief suppressed and life suspended. |
