Rating: ⭐ better than a PSL

Picking right up where part one ended, A Quiet Place Part II follows the journey of a family that must stay silent to survive. Violent creatures roam the streets, but if they can’t hear you, they can’t attack you.

This movie is a masterclass in building suspense. I was on pins and needles the entire time, rooting for our super lovable and badass cast. What I enjoyed most about this sequel was that the original was more about the parents protecting their children, and this one is more about the children stepping up and protecting their family. While Emily Blunt and Cillian Murphy’s performances are masterful, the show is stolen by Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe. These kids are legit and will help shape the next generation of cinema. If you’re able to and feel safe I highly recommend seeing A Quiet Place Part II in theater ASAP!
