The End of Quiet (2025) Tribeca 2025


This is a look at Green Bank West Virgina which is stuck in a pre-digital age. The reason there are no cellphones and othe modern conviences is that the town is home to huge listening stations and using modern phones will interfere. And then it shows what happens when the noise leaks in.

This is a slow medatative film about a world trapped thirty years back. You may make jokes about being in a backwater, but Green Bank is. How you react to the film will be determined by how you react to the silences and the pacing. 

For me the images are stunning, and I liked what the film was trying to do, but the film is a little too sedate for me and I had to fight to stay connected .

If you like slow and quiet meditations this film is for you.
