▣ The Quiet Girl (2022) - Hulu, 7/7
The highest-grossing Irish-language film in history, director Colm Bairéad's narrative feature debut adapts an English-language novella (Foster) by Claire Keegan. The well-reviewed drama—one of last year's highest-scoring films—is set in 1981, when a poor, neglected nine-year-old girl experiences a loving home for the first time when she is sent to spend the summer with foster parents in rural Ireland.
