N P "Speak" is a grounded, real and genuine depiction of a young teen who has been SA'd, going through the ups and downs of her daily life. The film captures the nuances and effects this event has had on her well-being and relationships woven throughout the in-depth, paced story, without relying on cliches and gratuity. Melinda, played by Kristen Stewart, exhibits the isolating prison and the quiet pain a victim can go through. There is a trigger warning, as there are scenes that show this occurrence. Everyone, especially young girls, should be able to watch it and have the chance to understand this perspective to possibly enlighten people's awareness, motivate victims to get help or be an aid to someone who may be dealing with a similar situation. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/04/24 Full Review Bennett S This movie is just as horrible. It’s too fast paced, the main character literally does nothing but cower in a ball the whole time, so the author should’ve just kept her experience to herself instead of telling the world. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/02/24 Full Review Aaron S Kristen Stewart, even at 14 years old, is just an otherworldly talent. She so effectively shows emotion with her expressions, body language...even down to things like small eye twitches. Much like The Perks of Being Wallflower, Speak is a little like a parable. It can seem a little over the top with its archetypes and caricatures of high schoolers and the relationships between said high schoolers and their parents/teachers, but what these movies do so well is recall the FEELINGS of those moments and relationships. Speak is also special in that this all applies aside from the sexual assault story that hits extremely hard. What keeps Speak from being a more elevated and complete experience is some of its production value and the unevenness of its acting across its cast. However, none of that keeps this from being an underrated and very worthwhile movie whose needed message was before its time. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/22/23 Full Review Wyatt G speak deserves so much more. this has been one of the best movies i have ever watched and i am so glad that films like this exist. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/01/23 Full Review Juliet D favourite movie ever Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/30/23 Full Review Melanie M I thought i saw every kristen stewart movie well i am so glad i across this one. it is so powerful and hit home i was never raped but had a trama and never healed until i spoke about it..... its odd how depression can hide in silence if you suffering at all talk and it goes away its that simple ... well sounds simple but its not it just means you care about others more than yourself and that is a wonderful treat to have .. some people only care about themselves and they die lonely and that's the ultimate punishment in life.... so be proud depression is a phase that can go away if you work really hard at it...
