Review of Speak

Speak (2004)
7/10
Silence

It is not always easy to speak out or to tell ones story. Especially when it is one, that goes contrary to something or someone popular. While I usually don't read what movies are about, I had a glimpse at the summary, which was quite spoiler heavy. Because while you will figure out what "bugs" Kristen Stewarts character in this, it is worth going that journey with her, not knowing.

So while the movie is more than decent more of the time, towards the end a couple of cliches do find their way in. Still a powerful movie, with a powerful, while very subtle main performance. And almost an audition tape for the Twilight movies (her character here is more fleshed out, if you'll excuse the pun). The theme of the movie is not one that is about feel good, this is a drama after all, but hopefully you can take something away from this. And hopefully the notion of things happening here, will be just a thing of the past ...
