Best movie of this year hands down!
Brilliant and touching
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
This film is well made and colouful, with close-ups of facial expressions. It's also sad to watch because rap is very serious and traumatic. Talking is very difficult and things go wrong. The main character is played by Kristen Stewart who finds school difficult. Her grades fall, she's lost her friends, she's picked on and there's a guy at school who raped her in the previous year. She can barely cope with all the school stuff, and then being targetted by one of the teachers giving her low grades. The symbolism in the movie is with trees and it may be her inner strength that she wants to find using art.
The filming was simple and there wasn't any big effects but that was okay. I liked the plot but it was most just a story.. Like there wasn't any big turn points or events, it was mostly Melinda reliving what had happened. I really missed some bigger events, but besides from that it was a good and different high school movie. So it's definitely worth watching, but you should probably not watch it with young kids.I have to write ten lines, but I don't really know what more to write. It was a great movie and I enjoyed watching it. I'm fifteen years old and would recommend it for teens at my age but adults would probably like it too.
Speak is a Movie about a 14 years old girl which was raped by his senior in a Party and after that incident she does not speak much. Kristein is fabulous in the movie, At this much age she performed too good. Movie shows School life, Friends, teenage life. Kristein's Eyes speak too much in spite of she don't speak much. We can understand everything what she wants to tell or how she feels. Movie tells us that children need attention, may be they don't speak about their problems but we have to make sure that kid doesn't feel any problems with life. Director knows how to show this kind of child's life, He put every effort to make Kristein's character much valuable. Screenplay is notable, it takes you to the every aspect of the character. One should watch the movie to see Kristein's performance and kind of different story that you can feel inside your heart. A perfect kind of teenage movie You should not miss.
This movie is now my favourite. I literally only seen it last night and i was completely blown away, it is so grown up and i am so surprised it didn't win an Oscar or anything, i should have because Kristen Stewart and well everybody was amazing in it.I can really relate to Melaney's character minus the rape in the story line, i mean like i fell out with my best friends when i was 14 and i got really depressed and didn't talk to anybody and this movie completely reminds me of that in a good way i mean, its hard to explain but the movie is very touching and inspiring to all girls i think and i am giving the cast a round of appaulase because they were great.Sorry for all the miss-spelling I'm not the best ha xx Thanks for reading this and please go and watch the film it is really great.
