Lupita Nyong'o plays a terminal cancer patient on the first day of the apocalypse in “A Quiet Place: Day One.” Directed and co-written by Michael Sarnoski, taking over for John Krasinski, the prequel looks at what happens when the killing monsters descend on New York.

Sarnoski, who was behind the Nicolas Cage thriller “Pig,” makes the bold decision to not dwell on answering questions about the monsters. In fact, he barely addresses how everyone figures out that they need to be quiet. One moment, people are being devoured in the streets of New York and several later there’s a band of survivors pushing their fingers to their lips.
There is something compelling about the idea of what a terminal person might do on the first day of the apocalypse, and Nyong’o is powerful and heartbreaking on this quest for the perfect slice. There’s a beauty in the simplicity and insanity of it. What Eric is doing there, however, is anyone’s guess. He’s a little too underwritten to make much sense of.
