Un amour étouffant

'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!

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.

For a tv movie this one is excellent. About an abusive relationship. After watching this I developed a strong sense of power in me. I don't think Stacey had that. Although It ended tragiclly I'm glad she realised what Bobby was doing is wrong. All girls should watch this. Hopefully it will be repeated.

I found this story to be heart breaking. I've seen that many people commented that Stacy was stupid for staying with Bobby, but most people who are in abusive relationships stay because the abuser usually psychologically abuses them, as well as physically. The thing is that some people don't know if someone is being abused unless they come out and tell someone. And it wasn't too uncommon for her not to tell her mother, because at that age teenage girls usually feel a distance from their mother or parents. This is a true story, based on actual events. It is important to remember that, but Sally Jessie as the judge was trying to convey a message, both to her friends and to the viewer, that if you know someone that is going through this, to speak up before it's too late.

I was forced to watch this in Health class like many other movies. But this was actually really well done. It showed how someone can actually get sucked into an abusive relationship. For something of this nature being showed to a class of immature 15-year-old's there were actually very few things to laugh at. They showed it with very little cheese. and I think the judge at the end was actually kind of like a message to everyone out there. This movie almost made me cry. And I never cry.
