Audiences sat in rapt silence as aliens attacked humanity in "A Quiet Place" (2018) and its 2021 sequel. HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano agree that the prequel, "A Quiet Place: Day One," is justified and that it is anchored by a strong performance by Lupita Nyong'o as a sick woman trying to survive on the devastated streets of Manhattan. Marie and Mike also discuss Yorgos Lanthimos' "Kinds of Kindness." They really dislike this film, but they do have a few kind words for a cast including Willem Dafoe, Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons.
