Leave your thoughts about Quiet City.
| The Tyee (British Columbia)Dorothy WoodendAdulthood. . .looms on the horizon, but it is forestalled for an instant, or maybe forever. This lack of engagement with the world is both charming and maddening, and it made it difficult, for me at least, to truly like the characters. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanAlthough the movie is hardly more ambitious than its young protagonists, there's a lot of value in a lazy day. Quiet City knows where to find it. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoA talkfest like this is ripe for disaster, but Quiet City succeeds thanks to its two leads, Erin Fisher as Jamie and Cris Lankenau as Charlie. They're attractive and likable, and they hold our interest throughout. |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirBabbit is skilled at creating atmosphere and mood, all of it creepy or sodden, and actresses Elisha Cuthbert and Camilla Belle put their hearts into their roles, which are, unfortunately, encased in a sleazoid TV movie of the week tarted up in art-school clothes. |
| AV ClubNathan RabinIn place of Before Sunrise's verbal fireworks, the aptly named Quiet City offers something more like linguistic sparklers -- modest, yes, but charming all the same. |
| NewsdayJohn AndersonQuiet City often attains a floating, poetic buoyancy that pulls a fast one on gravity. |
| TV GuideMaitland McDonaghCallow, self-centered, often infuriatingly inarticulate but filled with possibility; Katz and leads, who improvised much of their own dialogue, capture the contradictions with enough fragile charm that it's hard not to wish them well. |
| Film4Anton BitelQuiet City may be modest in budget and muted in its ambitions, but for anyone who imagines that truly independent American cinema is dead, this most chaste of romances is a quiet film worth shouting about. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt's a wonderfully goofy movie that was a fun watch. |
| Time OutMark HolcombProof positive that life's mundanities are even more tedious projected onto a movie screen. |
