Review of Speak (2004) by Mary O — 25 Dec 2012
I found Speak to be a touching, well-acted film on the serious subject of a rape of a young teen by a boy four years older, and how it affects her for a year while she struggles with the post-trauma and misunderstanding of her classmates until she finds the strength within herself to speak out about what happened to her.
How someone so young can deal with such a problem when older women have such a struggle, only makes the problem more complex. Teens need more films like this one to bring the date rape problem to the fore.
