Some of the plot is implausible, yet the core ideas resonate richly, and the characters' behaviour is psychologically intriguing. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- It's subtle stuff with an appealing lack of contrivance and there is something very natural about its resolution. Full Review

Rating: C -- [Nanni] Moretti makes this 'study' in despair a naggingly neutral, at times borderline coy experience. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Grimaldi's sensitive direction, allied to a subtle score by Paolo Buonvino, sharp script and accomplished acting, helps to turn this into an original and complex study of the unpredictability of human foibles and weaknesses. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/5 -- Quiet Chaos jerkily shifts tones, from oddly comic ... to blunt. And by blunt I mean an indiscreet, in-your-face sex scene that turns the viewer from observer to pervy voyeur. Full Review

There are moments of truth in "Quiet Chaos," such as when Pietro resorts to recreational drugs and rough sex, but those moments are far too few and much too far between. Full Review

Not even the momentary participation extraordinaire of a vertically challenged famous filmmaker self-exiled from the United States can save this phony pseudo-drama from its final collapse into a heap of inconsequence and male vanity. Full Review

Product Description:

Nanni Moretti stars in and co-wrote this moving Italian drama about grief. Pietro (Moretti) has just lost his wife, and he is left alone with their young daughter (Blu Yoshimi). He promises the girl that he will wait for her in the car when she returns to school for the first time, but then his temporary offer turns into habit. Now, Pietro spends his days in his car, watching the world around him and grieving in his own way.
