Things Never Said

Great movie. Most obviously compared to "Love Jones" (a classic in its own right), but so much deeper. Yes, there is love. Yes, there is poetry. But there is so much more.

I read another review of this movie and agree wholeheartedly. I too am dealing/have dealt with issues that are at the core of this movie. This movie has helped me get a sense of understanding about myself and past relationships. This movie is therapeutic.

Why have I not heard of this movie before? Why does one have to stumble across such a great work of art? I'm asking myself - am I over-rating this movie? I think not.

I truly wish it hadn't ended. It was so invoking and real. I felt like it was a modern day "Love Jones (which happens to be one of my favorite movies... ever!!) The main characters were real life, everyday people. They were people that you know, friends, and family members. The might actually be you. They didn't paint fairy tale images, they gave you raw reality. Some good, some bad, and some ugly.

It was such a sexy story line. And I love a story that doesn't give you the ending that you expected. I felt in love at times. When I can feel as the actors feel, that's always indicative to me of a great story.

I would love to see more of this movies writers and producers. I guess I am a sucker for poetry, sex, love, hate, fighting, drama, sadness, and truth. Things Never Said will take you on that roller coaster ride that you've missed as a child. Real Housewives of Atlanta, has nothing on this movie. Definitely don't need to wait 13 episodes to get some juice.

One thing that I would have liked is a stronger, more intense ending, but it was good either way.

The feeling you'd get after being on an island during a category 200 hurricane and feeling the sun on your face. You've prayed to the god who is your you alpha and omega.. and your payer is answered. You live. The possibilities of what could be exist in your life. The path of pain to Eden exists- If You're Capable# I cherish this creation. I'll ask my sister to watch it if she gets to a point where she can handle it!

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.

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..
