I may be in the minority here but I'm not a particularly big fan of any of the quiet place films, i think they are gimmicky and are overly reliant on their concept when other areas of the film fall flat and a quiet place day one is the worst one.
It is to put it frankly, a silly film that thinks its extremely clever and has a lot to say, but really it comes off as one long advert for fucking pizza. No i'm not kidding, the majority of the films plot has less to do with, you know the alien invasion we are interested in seeing and more to do with people trekking over the destroyed wasteland of new york in search of fucking pizza. Before you say anything, yes i know the pizza is supposed to represent hope, but its fucking dumb.
I also don't appreciate any film that relies on baiting the audience to feel connected to a character by giving them a terminal illness, its manipulative, lazy writing.
That said I think Joseph Quinn and Lupita Nyong'o are both very good, but two good performances cannot save a painfully average film.
