Brutale Liebe - und jeder schweigt

***SPOILERS***The moment that pretty but shy Stacy Connins, Candance Cameron Bure, laid her eyes on high school wrestling champion Bobby "Cute Butt" Tennison, Fred Savage, during a wrestling match, which he won, it was love at first sight: For both Bobby as well as his butt. At first everything was just lovey dovey between the two until Stacy took her eyes of him and his butt for only a moment to talk to a friend of hers. It's then that Bobby lost control and turned his pent up aggressions, in feeling he wasn't the great lover that he thought he was, on her with a white hot fury.

Stacy despite being abused by Bobby where in some cases she had to be hospitalized still stuck with him feeling that he, as well as his cute butt, was too good to give up even if it meant that she'll end up dead sticking with him. Finally coming to her senses,after being beaten black and blue all over, Stacy decided to call it quits and leave Bobby forever to his own world of mindless violence. Her biggest mistake was telling him that with no one around to protect her from him when he got the word from her and that was a fatal error on Stacy's part.

****SPOILERS**** Based on the true story of the murder of 14 year old Amy Carnevale by her love crazed and mentally deranged 16 year old boyfriend Jamie Fuller in 1991 the movie shows that love is strange like the song says and it gets even stranger when it involves a nut case who can't take no for an answer. In this case Bobby Tennison who because of his insecurity, in coming from a dysfunctional family, that lead to murdering his girlfriend Stacy Collins. Who was in love with the creep despite all the abuse that he subjected her too and couldn't let go of him until it was too late.

'No One Would Tell' is an excellent movie. The acting is great, the writing and main characters are nice, but the thing I liked the most is that it was based on a true and very serious topic.

Candace Cameron Bure is perfect as the sweet and battered Stacy Collins. She truly did capture the look of a typical teenager in love. Of course, she put up with a little more than what most girls do, but she was still the teenager in love. Real quick comment about the casting for the role of Stacy. Bure, who was twenty at the time, was still able to pull of the sixteen year old look. Not too many people care but this is one of the most annoying things in the movies today; having people trying to play high school students who are clearly in their late twenties +. Fred Savage was terrific as the evil and very controlling boyfriend, Bobby. He was very believable as an abusive guy who will go to any lengths to keep his girlfriend. Both lead roles were nicely sketched out as well as the actors who brought them to life. Everyone else such as Stacy's girlfriend, and the couple's friends are also good.

The writing is decent. Being that this is supposed to be a serious movie, I know that it isn't supposed to have comedy. But it wouldn't hurt to throw in a few funny lines here and there.

One minor problem I had with this movie was that although it was entertaining the whole way through with hardly any boring parts, there were too many twists with Bobby and Stacy's relationship. The whole 'I love you, I love you not' thing was played out a little much. Also, it was sort of a let down to find out that Stacy gets murdered only two or three minutes into the film. This could have been changed but the rest of the movie leading up to that point was good that it could stay the same as well. Either way would be good for me.

This is a terrific movie to show to someone who is an abusive relationship or just anyone in general. It deals with a serious topic and hopefully another film like this will come along again. Excellent TV movie with a great cast!

Fred Savage's acting in this movie was very convincing. I've always seen him in good guy roles. I actually believed he was a psychopath! Great movie! Two-thumbs up!

I saw this movie ten minutes into it, so I didn't know that what happened actually would. This film was so powerful, it gave me nightmares for a week. Fred's acting was extremely believable. I actually had to realize that it was fiction and he really isn't insane. Candace was ok as Stacy, I wish she'd act more nowadays. She pretty much dropped off the face of the earth...anyway, this is something every girl should watch. It should definitely be repeated.

I saw the movie on TV, It was a wakeup call for all mankind alike. Controlling someone is WRONG and DEADLY. I have a 14 yr old Daughter who would have a better understanding of things to notice when controlling starts. The thing is, once controlling starts it accelerates like a runaway train. The only way to stop that train is to notice it coming and get off the tracks, let professionals slow down and possibly stop the unavoidable disaster. I think Stacey did a remarkable performance. that is just the way some if not most girls in a situation like that respond. Fred was also remarkable. The escalation was so believable i was in awe. PLEASE PLAY IT AGAIN.
