"It's like a ghost movie,' he agrees. Like he's haunting her. But not everyone is OK with the scant screen time Julie's abuser gets."
"But I think the movie shows enough red flags to know that this is not a good person. That he should not be around children."
Leonardo Van Dijl, a Belgian filmmaker, debuted his film 'Julie Keeps Quiet' at Cannes, stirring discussion on children's safety in sports through a tense narrative. The film features 15-year-old Julie, who faces the pressure to speak up about her male coach, a character revealed indirectly as predatory. Van Dijl emphasizes the film's focus on psychological horror rather than explicit abuse, likening it to a ghost story, while noting public curiosity about details of abuse can be distressing. He advocates for recognizing the red flags rather than seeking all answers.
