Highlights of Critics Week, Cannes Film Fest 2024
Silence is prominent in Leonardo Van Dijl’s riveting psychological drama from Belgium about the ruptured relationship between a rising teenage tennis star and her coach.
Van Dijl’s first feature casts young sportswoman Tessa Van den Broeck as a player whose personal trauma is heightened by a peer’s suicide.
The tautly composed static frames contribute to the intensity of this austerely effective’s tale.
Some critics compared Julie Keeps Quiet to last year’s German Oscar nominee The Teachers’ Lounge.
