Julie Keeps Quiet: Leonardo Van Dijl’s riveting psychological drama, Un Certain Regard (Cannes Film Fest 2024, Good Film)

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.
