Our take

Before his Iceland-set comedy Land Ho! and LA neo-noir Gemini, writer-director Aaron Katz was best-known as a member of the so-called mid-aughts ‘mumblecore’ movement, certain key characteristics of which are on display in Quiet City. A sincere, semi-improvised 24-hour trip through Brooklyn.
