Unspeakable

It seems like she wanted to believe her boyfriend and keep her relationship going. I don't understand her behavior. I know what my behavior would have been. Cancel the dinner party. Read the text message that my daughter sent my boyfriend on his phone. Ask him to move out until this was sorted out. Take my daughter to the ER, doctor, and therapist. Ask my son has he seen anything unusual. The ending didn't make sense. It almost seem like this was not a movie, but a play. Maybe, that is what it should have been. The whole movie felt unfinished. You never got any answers. The film just ended. Dumb movie.

What the actors, directors, and production team accomplished in this is nothing short of startling. An extremely sensitive theme intertwined with a thriller style storyline that has an emotionally charged sinister yet totally believable situation going on. A lot of psychology in this one, and refreshingly surprising just how much is packed into less than a hour. I can't spoil it for you but it's worth watching. Again, the actors really pulled from within to give their characters the feelings they'd experience. Watch it over a cup of coffee or two. Also found the length suited my attention span much like an episode from a series, except it ended, which left me wanting more but also came to conclusion and I sort of liked that. Didn't have to invest more time.

I started this because the plot sounded Lifetime-y and I thought it would be a good hate-watch, like to drink and laugh at, probably like 4 out of 10 stars, but it actually ended up being decently well-written and even better acted. Indira is fantastic. So I'll have to find something else to hate-watch, I guess.

This 47 mins movie feels like a properly made feature film. It has its tense moments and a suspenseful atmosphere which continues until the climax. It ends up being a mystery suspense movie actually but is so well made and acted that it doesn't let you move an inch. Indira Verma does a great job yet again as the mother. Totally worth the time. Don't miss it!

In less than 50 minutes this thriller moves from seemingly happy families to the broken pieces of a budding relationship. A woman splits from her husband. Arrangements are made to share the kids on alternate weekends. One of the kids is a brooding 11 year old girl: many parents would be very familiar with the bubbling hormones and the secretive life they can lead.meanwhile the mother begins a friendship with a much younger man. He moves into her home and finds himself as part of a family. Shortly thereafter the mother receives an anonymous text message suggesting her boyfriend might be behaving inappropriately with the daughter. Doubt ensues and works its corrosive spell.

Certainly worth the time.
