"A taut, haunting character study whose patient rhythms effectively breeds inescapable tension." - Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com

Opens March 28 | Julie, the star player at an elite youth tennis academy, is laser-focused on making it into the Belgian Tennis Federation. When her coach, Jérémy, is suspended after one of his protégées dies by suicide, the academy urges players to speak up about their experience with him. Julie keeps quiet. As suspicions mount about the nature of Jérémy and Julie’s relationship, her silence deepens, fueling anxiety that shifts her focus inward, undermining her confidence, concentration, and performance. Executive produced by tennis champion Naomi Osaka, JULIE KEEPS QUIET is a powder keg of a movie, a tense and taut study of the illusion of control.
