The result may not be a big movie, but Things Never Said makes a big emotional impact.

When it comes to writing the poetry that Kalindra recites, Murray knows how to do more with less; he needs to apply that lesson to his filmmaking, too.

3.5/4

The familiar themes of escaping abuse and self-actualization/redemption/salvation through art become, in Murray and his cast's hands, something uniquely and memorably moving and exhilarating.

The kind of film that Hollywood rarely makes anymore: smart, deep, honest, genuinely poignant and complex. It will nourish your heart, mind and soul. Shanola Hampton delivers a bravura, star-making performance.

great film!!!!!. Just saw # truth which was so slick and engaging and well done. Perfectly crafted plot. Came home to look at producer and director and it turns out that he wrote and directed "Things Never Said", which was/is another favorite

Excellent film. Charles Murray wrote a great script and crafted a compelling narrative. The actors were all on point. Omari Hardwick always delivers and he is superb in this movie. The surprise was Shanola Hampton. She brought it. She is a fine and powerful actress. Elimu Nelson scared the heck out me! Highly recommend this film.
