SOMEWHERE QUIET (Tribeca 2023) – Review by Alexandra Heller-Nicholas

June 23, 2023 Alexandra Heller-Nicholas Jennifer Kim, Marin Ireland, Olivia West Lloyd, Somewhere Quiet, Tribeca 2023

Weaving passive aggression, casual racism and a whole lot of indefinable but omnipresent bad vibes, Somewhere Quiet is a masterclass in suspense – not the big, bombastic Hitchcockian sense, but that awful, insidious lo-fi rumbling kind that suffocates with an insidious yet persistent creep. Jennifer Kim once again proves that she is a cult superstar waiting to happen in this career-defining performance, perfectly embodying the long tail of trauma as it ricochets through her body and mind.

If you are looking for tangible evidence that film festivals are taking equity seriously, the stats surrounding the forthcoming 2023 Tribeca Festival are a good place to start. With 68% of films in competition directed by women and 36% of all features directed by BIPOC filmmakers, when these numbers are weighed up next to the high calibre names it’s frankly hard not to be impressed.
