"Unspoken" captivated the international audience at the Brussels Fantastic Film Festival I was attending.
As a director-screenwriter myself, I loved how Daming Chen committed to an organic multicultural form of storytelling, delivering a powerful film. It seamlessly blends a true story coupled with the rise of anti-Asian sentiment in America during the pandemic - with a gripping thriller narrative. Chen fearlessly utilizes English and Chinese, reflecting the cultural nuances of how characters react in tense situations.
The film masterfully highlights the dangers of cultural misconceptions. A seemingly simple scene involving a fortune cookie exemplifies this. It exposes how ingrained biases can ultimately lead to violence.
"Unspoken" had people speak and question their belief systems, as witnessed after the film screening. Isn't that what good storytelling is all about?

In an era where the convergence of art and technology defines our culture, Daming Chen stands as a beacon of dedication and innovation. His latest film, "Unspoken," is a testament to his relentless pursuit of excellence and his unwavering commitment to storytelling.
"Unspoken" is more than just a film; it is a profound exploration of human emotions and the silent battles we all face. Daming Chen's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every frame, from the evocative cinematography to the poignant performances of the cast. This film is a reflection of his vision, a vision that transcends the ordinary and delves deep into the human condition.

I went to a horror movie event at our local cinema, and this was the second film. And i was dissatisfied because this is not horror, its an action thriller with very muted violence and obligatory end credits explaining the aftermath.
The chinese actors were good, but the material was not great. The portrayal of the Americans is hilarious, maybe even honest, but the same portrayals are also hinder the build-up of any atmosphere. The movie tries hard, very hard, to portray the victim as this angel that died tragically, but it ends up doing too much, all in flashback mode. The only character with any personality is the father, and he acts the way you expect him too, never really surprising you. The fact that he is an experienced officer hunting drug dealers is not useful to the plot, you will forget this detail many times. I wouldn't have seen this film, if it was not in the horror event. Skip it, its a movie the bus driver might put for his passenger during a boring trip.
