"I just need to concentrate on school and tennis." Film Movement has unveiled an official US trailer for an acclaimed indie film titled
Julie Keeps Quiet, a Belgian thriller about a star tennis player. This premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival in the Critics Week sidebar, then played at the Karlovy Vary, Melbourne, Vancouver, and Toronto Film Festivals last year. As the star player at an elite tennis academy, Julie's life revolves around the game she loves. When her coach is suddenly suspended following the suicide of one of his female protégées, all the players at the academy are encouraged to speak up about their experiences with him. Julie, however, decides to keep quiet. Executive produced by tennis champion Naomi Osaka, the film is a "tense, taut, artfully hushed debut feature" by Belgian writer-director Leonardo van Dijl.

Julie Keeps Quiet respectfully and empathetically examines why some victims choose to remain silent." Also starring
