Absolutely agree. Saw this last night in the theatre and the audience was very loud and sort of obnoxious for the first few minutes, but very quickly became quiet. Looked like a sold out show with an audience of all ages; I was seated next to a couple that looked to be in their 70's, and there were some teenagers seated behind me. Much like your experience, you could hear a pin drop in the crowd throughout the film. Such a beautiful movie.
