What makes this film special is the way it portrays silence. Melinda doesn't stop talking because she has nothing to say, but because fear, guilt, and trauma paralyze her, and I think her silence is very common off-screen when we don't know how to ask for help because of fear. Throughout the story, we can understand how a traumatic experience affects self-esteem, personal relationships, and the way a person communicates with the world. In this sense, Speak shows that silence is often a way of as... » Continue Reading

This change allows music to have a central role in the story, especially th... » Continue Reading
Finally, after some time, I'm back. I just had a few personal issues that I’ve now managed to get past.I can finally talk about this series. Honestly, when I watched the first episode, I didn’t think it could be that good, but it’s really addictive and totally worth it. When it made me empathize from the very first second, I knew right then that this would be my series, though I doubted it later because it was a bit slow and not that fun, until you get to the middle and it’s crazy, it made me lo... » Continue Reading
