The Oscar-nominated film explores the question of what it takes to make a family.
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for The Quiet Girl .What does that beautiful, ambiguous ending of The Quiet Girl mean? This year, The Quiet Girl received a much-deserved Oscar nomination for Best International Feature, and with it, Colm Bairéad’s excellent feature debut is sure to rack up a fair share of attention. It's also gone on to become the highest-grossing Irish language film of all time.
RELATED: ‘The Quiet Girl’ Review: Ireland’s First Oscar-Nominated International Feature Is a Perfect Representation of the Country Cáit and Seán lovingly embrace, whether it's bidding farewell or reuniting. Just up the way, Cáit’s father approaches steadily, angrily, in pursuit of his daughter. Cáit softly mutters “daddy,” as a sort of warning to Seán about her approaching father. A moment passes, she melts into Seán’s embrace, and says, much more fondly this time around, “daddy." The film cuts to black.
Seán Is the Father Cáit Never Had Because of her father’s cruelty and abuse, Cáit has rejected him as a proper father figure. Through the abuse—and through her mother’s general neglect—Cáit had become timid and reserved. She’d been cheated out of any of the unconditional love that a parent owes their child. Ironically, it’s only through Eibhlín and Seán that she’s able to be treated rightfully as a daughter.
