Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Favri I had the great pleasure of seeing The Quiet Hour at the Raindance screening in London and was hugely impressed. Everything about it is worthy of note - interesting original concept, great script, fantastic direction, top notch performances by the cast and fantastic production value. This sci-fi, post apocalyptic thriller tells the story of a young girl and her blind brother who do their best to survive in a world that has been torn apart by an invasion of mysterious aliens who kill all humans in sight. Their routine is interrupted by a wandering stranger, who may or may not have the best intentions... I couldn't believe this film was done on a low budget, the production value is absolutely excellent, it looks and feels like a very sophisticated production. This is what independent films should aspire to be like! Dakota Blue Richards delivers a truly superb performance as the lead, showing us just what she is capable of, and Karl Davies and Jack McMullen are equally convincing and excellent. Zeb Moore and Brigitte Millar are also worthy of note, absolutely rock their parts. Stephanie Joalland is clearly a very talented director, every shot is carefully and cleverly put together and, as a fan of post apocalyptic films in general, her use of the landscape and scenery is brilliant. I can't remember the last time I've seen such a good directorial debut! I am sure we will be seeing a lot more from her. Gripping from beginning to end and beautifully shot, I cannot praise and recommend this film enough - watch out for it because people will talk about it once it's released. Very much looking forward to Frenzy Films' next production!!

Flanagan_30 Had the great pleasure of seeing this film at the Galway Film Festival, And was not disappointing one bit. The film has everything for an entertaining viewing. Superb location,sensitive score, believable performances and excellent camera work. Hard to believe this is a directors debut," who needs a big budget" with gems like this filmed on a shoestring. The Fantastic Tipperary Ireland landscape proved more than equal to set the scene for this story of a battle against the odds. Hopefully this film will get the cinematic release it truly deserves and needs. Lets hope the reviews from the Raindance festival move this film into gear .

brigitte_millar This is a well scripted and emotionally powerful post apocalyptic sci-fi drama, with strong performances from an excellent cast. In a remote part of rural, post-apocalyptic England, now occupied by unseen alien invaders, a feisty teenage girl sets out on a desperate attempt to fight back a group of bandits and defend her parents' farm, their remaining livestock, and the solar panels that keep them safe from extraterrestrials. If she doesn't succeed, she will lose her only source of food and shelter; if she resists, she and her helpless blind sibling will be killed. Shot in Ireland/Tipperary and starring Dakota Blue Richards (Golden Compass), Karl Davies (Emmerdale), Jack McMullan (Waterloo Road) and Brigitte Millar (Harry Potter) Directed by Stephanie Joalland Produced by Sean McConville Well worth watching! Rating: 9 out of 10

benimdbthebest I just had the pleasure of watching Stephanie Joalland's directorial feature debut and came away feeling inspired. Without giving away the film, Dakota Blue Richards, Karl Davies and Jack McMullen all give sterling performances in this tense sci-fi thriller. I loved the locations (think it was Ireland) the enigmatic score and elegantly paced unveiling of this gripping story. Having watched many indie films, one thing that is apparent is that execution of story is not always a major success for most first time film makers, however Joalland manages to keep my attention for the whole 85 minutes. I'm not sure what the budget was here, but it's really quiet irrelevant and inspiring to know that good storytelling relies first and foremost on a good idea executed by talented actors and film makers. Hope this will get a UK release and deserves to be seen by all indie-film lovers, filmmakers and anyone with a love of genre.
