The Quiet Girl, or An CailÃn Ciúin in Irish, is a 2022 coming-of-age drama film, directed by Colm Bairéad and based on the novella Foster by Claire Keegan, published in 2010. Most of the film's dialogue is in Irish, with English being occasionally spoken.The film centers on the titular protagonist Cáit, a shy and lonely nine-year-old girl who lives in Ireland during the 1980s in a rural community with her parents and siblings. Cáit has no friends or close companions, and her family is also indifferent towards her. Her parents choose to send her to spend the summer with her mother's cousin EibhlÃn and her husband Seán Cinnsealach (Kinsella), who are farmers in a different county. Over the course of the time she spends with her new guardians, Cáit begins to enjoy love and security for possibly the first time in her life, and grows close to both Sean and EibhlÃn, who grow to love and care for Cáit as if she were their own child. However, Cáit also discovers some painful truths about her new family.The film currently holds the record as the highest-grossing Irish-language film of all time, and has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film at the 95th Academy Awards, becoming the first Irish film to be nominated in the category's history. | |

Shoot the Dog: In the end, Sean and EibhlÃn have to return Cáit back to her parents. It's made abundantly clear in their interactions that neither of them really wants this. | |

| The Quiet Girl / int_329a97a0 | comment |
Apology Gift: After scolding Cáit harshly for going out of his sight and worrying him while he was working, Seán silently leaves a cookie on the kitchen table for Cáit to have and walks away, saying sorry in a very subtle way with the treat. | |

Ungrateful Bastard: Cáit's da's response when Cáit returns home to restart schooling is to complain that Seán and EibhlÃn didn't do anything. You know, the couple who took care of Cáit for an entire summer at their own expense. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| The Quiet Girl / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Multiple examples, including: When Cáit's da drives away after neglecting to take her suitcase out of the boot, leaving her with only the clothes she's wearing, Cáit is given some boy's clothes that are way too big for her, but that she has to make do with. She later learns that they belonged to the Kinsella's son, who drowned in a slurry pit years ago. The wallpaper with train motifs. It makes sense once we know this used to be a boy's room. EibhlÃn introduces Cáit to the well that is the source of the household's water, and warns her that she must be careful when drawing water from it. Later, Cáit falls in and nearly drowns when retrieving water by herself, in an incident that is horribly reminiscent of how the Kinsella's son died. However, she survives but catches a cold from the exposure. | |

Parental Neglect | |
| The Quiet Girl / int_a54534a0 | comment |
Parental Neglect: Cáit's parents are at best distant and harried, and at worst are emotionally abusive. Cáit's da openly complains about her just being another mouth to feed to the people he's dumping her on. | |

Gossipy Hens: During a wake, one of the townwomen volunteers to take a restless Cáit to their home to wait for Seán and EibhlÃn. Unfortunately for Cáit, she's a blabbermouth who disdains practically everyone, and drops the bombshell that Seán and EibhlÃn have a dead son. | |

Shout-Out: A very discreet one to the famous "Run, Forrest, run!"" scene from Forrest Gump, when Sean asks Cáit to run and check the letterbox. The cinematography also is using slow-motion, and Cáit experiences a similar form of freedom. | |

Jerkass | |
| The Quiet Girl / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
Jerkass Cáit's da is more interested in gambling and drinking than being a proper father, and actively ignores Cáit. When Cáit's parents are discussing what to do with her because they can't afford another mouth to feed when another baby's on the way, he dismisses Cáit's ma's side of the family as good-for-nothing. The nosy neighbor who volunteers to take Cáit from the wake. She calls Cáit a 'dope' repeatedly, crassly complains about Seán and EibhlÃn behind their backs when she was friendly-like with them at the wake, mocks Cáit's outfit, and casually reveals Seán and EibhlÃn had a son who drowned in a slurry pit with all the sympathy of a bored teenager. | |
