Freshman high-school student Melinda has refused to speak ever since she called the cops on a popular summer party. With her old friends snubbing her for being a rat, and her parents too busy to notice her troubles, she folds into herself, trying to hide her secret: that star senior Andy raped her at the party. But Melinda does manage to find solace in her art class headed by Mr. Freeman.

"I thought this was a powerful realistic story. Kristen Stewart gave an excellent performance. I wonder why they called it speak though since the girl was suffering in silence."

"I really like this movie but it is sad and could be triggering to many. Very subtle, but powerful performance by Kristen Stewart. "

"This an amazing film, with a wonderful performance by Kristen Stewart. It will definitely leave you destroyed after watching it, but it carries a powerful message."

"LOVED this movie. 12/10. The book was obviously better but they casted everyone perfectly and I just love the accurate perception of teenagers (i need a dave petrakis in my life)"

"This movie is something I never read about or heard about. I recommend watching this without reading the plot. Such a good sad movie. "

"If you're looking for a movie that talks about mental health and trauma this is the one! It's incredible and extremely underrated! It's very similar to Perks of Being a Wallflower but actually came out before it! It really does a better job than stuff like Cyberbully and 13 Reasons Why at tackling issues like this. I highly recommend you check it out!!"

"The way Melinda expresses herself through body language and facial expressions is outstanding. Very good acting on Kristen Stewart’s part. "

"2004. Kristen Stewart's first lead role for a movie. Great film. May be triggering for some… based on the award-winning 1999 novel of the same name by Laurie Halse Anderson. "
