Things Never Said

I was just scrolling through the Pluto app, when I came across this beautifully written movie. Ambivalent at first, but being a poet myself, I felt compelled to watch. Was never quite into slam poetry, spoken word, but when you hear, see and feel it, it pulls you in like a slow wind. This movie is right up there with Love Jones, which is one of my all time favorites. When Curtis (Omari) spoke, you listened. Watching two people fall in love (even if it is just a movie) gives me hope there's someone out there who will truly get me.

I'm going to be honest the only reason I looked at the movie because of Mr. Omari. I have never heard of this movie. I was just browsing through because I had nothing else to do. And I saw Mr. Omari's face. The movie ended up being a 10 for me. I'm not a person that is into spoken word but guess what I think I'm going to attend some open mic nights (spoken word). Everyone played their parts to the fullest and I loved it. I'm glad things ended up the way they did. Ladies, you know what i change that ALL people need to remember. Theirs always someone that'll love you more and much better than that abusive partner in heir lives. LOVED IT LOVED IT LOVED IT! There's nothing left for me to say. But this is a great movie by all means. Everybody should view it and tell the next person about it so they can view this movie as well.

Very rarely do I encounter great movies like this. The actors did a great job embodying their characters. Probs to Shanola Hampton and Omari Hardwick for not acting but just being; they immersed themselves so well into their characters, it was almost like they weren't even trying which made it so relatable. I could easily relate it with my life, I felt their struggle and identified with their pain.

Now, I'm not a poet or know much poetry but I enjoyed every aspect of this movie. I give it a 10/10..

This movie was well written, well acted and directed very well. Honestly the pacing was a bit slow, but that did not ruin the film. I am so happy to see a Black family portrayed in its fullest form. They all had their deepest secrets, they were very real characters and even one of the main characters, the abusive husband, (oops I gave part of it away) was realistic. We saw his "reasons" for the abuse and the director did not go over the top. This film was written for an intelligent audience. We need more of this sort of film, its characters are rich, full and developed. Was this movie in the theatres? Why not? It's got the stuff strong films are made of.

I'm surprised no one told me about this movie. It is very well written and acted. Takes a deeper look at the stereotypes usually found in this type of movie. Not predictable just good.
