Leave your thoughts about Things Never Said.
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferThe kind of film that Hollywood rarely makes anymore: smart, deep, honest, genuinely poignant and complex. It will nourish your heart, mind and soul. Shanola Hampton delivers a bravura, star-making performance. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyThe result may not be a big movie, but Things Never Said makes a big emotional impact. |
| Boston GlobePeter KeoughIn a year when black filmmaking has surged with Oscar-touted films such as “The Butler” and the upcoming “12 Years a Slave,” Murray’s Things Never Said has a quiet eloquence of its own. |
| Washington PostStephanie MerryWhen it comes to writing the poetry that Kalindra recites, Murray knows how to do more with less; he needs to apply that lesson to his filmmaking, too. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenThe earnest mash-up of spoken-word performance, domestic drama and soapy romance in Things Never Said is unwieldy, to be sure, and would have sunk a less charismatic cast. |
| RogerEbert.comChristy LemireIf this particular kind of performance is not your cup of tea (and, admittedly, it is not mine), you might find yourself resisting the journey of female empowerment and the uplift that's ultimately in store. |
| Village VoiceErnest HardyTo be fair, the cast is largely good, given the material. |
| AALBC.comKam WilliamsAn uplifting tale of female empowerment tarnished by its crude method of delivering a positive message. |
| User ReviewMichael QLoved it! I walked in not a fan of slam poetry and walked out a believer. Curtis and Kalindra's journey stole my heart. It was powerful, vulnerable and flawed in all the right places. Love, love, love! |
| User ReviewCarolyn MThis film had me at the opening scene!! The writing and direction of "The Things Never Said" combined with the actors' unsurpassed talent to make an audience feel a characters personal anguish, emotion and desire is a fantastic combination not to be missed. MUST SEE |
