Hollywood star John Krasinski has responded to a critic who panned his otherwise unanimously acclaimed 2018 horror drama A Quiet Place. The actor, who also directed the project and is returning behind the camera for the sequel, said he did not agree with Richard Brody of The New Yorker that the film was about a white family protecting their home with guns from a bunch of predatory creatures. Krasinski said if there was any metaphor, it had to do with parenthood.
