'The Quiet Girl' Alludes to a History of Abuse

Apart from the unnatural discomfort that Cáit shows around her father, there are a few other signs that hint at the sinister truth that Cáit has been abused, perhaps even sexually, by her father. Repeated instances of bedwetting also hint at a hidden trauma.

The film is based on Irish author Claire Keegan's short story “Foster.” The story follows Cáit (Catherine Clinch), a shy, neglected girl living in an overcrowded, impoverished and dysfunctional household in rural Ireland in 1981.

The Quiet Girl is a young adult thriller book, intended for ages 13+. It's perfect for fans of Heathers and Pretty Little Liars. Content warnings: murder, bullying, abuse, depression, anxiety, swearing, and sexual references.

In the summer of 1981, nine-year-old Cáit is one of many siblings, living with her impoverished and neglectful parents in rural Ireland. With her mother pregnant again, it is decided to send their quiet daughter away to live with middle-aged distant cousin Eibhlín Cinnsealach and her husband Seán.

Set in 1981, the film follows a withdrawn nine-year-old girl raised by neglectful parents among many other siblings, who experiences a loving home for the first time when she spends the summer on a farm in Rinn Gaeltacht, County Waterford, alone with a married couple who are distant relatives.

In 2018's A Quiet Place, the monsters were never officially named. But they've become known as Death Angels amongst the saga's fans, based on the newspaper headline we see on the Abbott family's clippings board.

Adapted from Foster, a short story by Claire Keegan, it centres on nine-year-old Cáit, a shy and withdrawn child who receives scant attention or affection from a family ruled by an uncaring patriarch.
