A touching and important movie

Watched this well-acted drama from Belgium. An incredibly touching and important subject. I don't want to reveal the plot for those who want to see the film. All the actors in the film did well and it almost felt like a documentary. Besides the fact that they spoke French, it was fun to hear Flemish, which is a language you don't hear very often. I think it's a film that should get more attention and more people should see it. I hope the film finds a larger audience.

Julie Keeps Quiet is an emotionally charged and suspenseful film that slowly peels back the layers of its young protagonist's struggle.

The movie follows Julie, an up-and-coming tennis talent, as she navigates the complex emotions surrounding her relationship with her coach, who has suddenly been placed on non-active status after his previous prodigy's tragic suicide.The opening scene beautifully sets the tone, with Julie practicing against an invisible opponent without a ball-an early metaphor for the invisible, internal battle she's fighting. This visual motif hints at her isolation and inner turmoil, drawing the viewer in with an eerie quietness. As soon as she receives a call informing her that her coach won't be there, you sense that something is off, and that feeling persists throughout the film.One of the film's greatest strengths is its respect for the audience's intelligence. It gives us the time and silence to process what might have happened and fill in the blanks on our own, rather than spoon-feeding us every detail from A to Z. This approach heightens the tension, which remains loose for most of the film, in sharp contrast to the scenes where Julie comes into contact with her previous coach. Her mobile phone becomes a kind of Trojan horse, introducing dread into even her safest spaces, like her own bedroom. Although her parents create a safe environment and don't push her to open up, every time her phone is visible, it evokes a knot in the viewer's stomach.The movie skillfully keeps its audience in suspense. It doesn't immediately reveal the details of what transpired between Julie and her coach, but the weight of the mystery is felt in every scene. Julie's refusal to speak about what happened, despite clear signs of trauma, speaks volumes, and the film handles this silence with both tension and sensitivity.A beautiful arc emerges as the distance between Julie and her old coach grows. We see her smile more, and it's genuinely heartwarming to witness her gradual emotional recovery. It's especially impressive how the lead actress, at such a young age, conveys Julie's internal struggle without needing to spell it out. The nuances in her performance make her journey feel authentic.As the movie progresses, it becomes clear that Julie Keeps Quiet isn't so much about what happened to her in the past, but rather about Julie slowly rediscovering herself after enduring trauma. This shift in focus is both subtle and powerful, allowing the film to deliver a more profound message about resilience and self-recovery.

Supporting witness Julie refuses to talk in a "me too" case around a tennis trainer, after a suicide by a fellow trainee. Her motives for keeping silent are unclear

Saw his at the Ghent 2024 filmfestival. Many scenes show tennis training and related, but not to the extent of being annoying, not even for someone (like me) who is not in sports, any sports. The issues shown are contemporary, and we see many similar cases on TV and in newspapers, varying from rumored via openly alleged to legally proven. What we also clearly see here, is that we never get to know what precisely happened, how far it went and how long it lasted, mostly due to privacy concerns for the accused as well as the victims.The latter is my problem with this movie. When the final credits appeared, I still did not know what the real problem was. The word "stop" is used very often by Jeremy (the accused trainer), repeatedly emphasizing that he stopped as soon as Julie said she wanted him to stop. Is it thus a case of sexual harassment?? Remarkable is that Julie reacted heftily when she learned that Jeremy got a position as trainer on a different location (we recognize this "move" tactic within the church and sexual abuse cases). She also asked her newly appointed trainer whether he was prepared to keep working with her in the case that Jeremy would be reinstated on his old job.Another unresolved topic is why Julie kept silent and refused to participate in the talking sessions organized by officials, who are obliged to do "something". Did she not want to reveal her reasons why she kept silent and stayed out of the pending investigation?? Or is it a mixture of feeling guilty that she was late with asking Jeremy to stop?? I can only guess what her considerations were. (Maybe I missed something and was it clear for everyone else watching the same movie.)All in all, interesting for tennis lovers and equally for others who are interested in the main "me too" theme of this movie. The intermixed tennis training scenes are not dominating, neither are they distracting from the main issues. We see Julie in many scenes and many moods, while succeeding in keeping us fascinated with the developments in the story throughout the running time. The other young actors involved did a good job as well.
