The title The Quietude is reminiscent of Silence of the Lambs, A Quiet Place and all the hushed horrors in between. But the newest from Argentine writer/director Pablo Trapero (The Clan) is actually a family drama, albeit one awash in the undercurrent of his country’s horrible history of military dictatorship. The girls’ father has a stroke in the opening scene, and his gradual decline helps frame the story that follows. It may also help to fixate on slight differences in cheekbones between the stars, so as not to get them confused. One problem with having so many skeletons in the family closet is that skeletons all tend to look the same.
