Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
CountZero313 A leading psychiatrist has his world turned upside down by a tragic family event. He shuns patients, until being drawn back by a young man who witnessed his father kill his mother, but seems strangely unaffected by the event.A great script that respects the audience, leaving a lot of information off-screen. When the story moves forward a few years and Garcia and his wife have separated, we fill in the blanks automatically and never have to be told why it happened. Tommy turns up with a car, and we know fine well how he got it, some despicable act cleverly left to our imaginations. Tommy is astoundingly, creepily normal given his circumstances, until his psychosis explodes suddenly. After that he tries in vain to get it back in the box. Garcia has never been better, every inch the grief-stricken father, his expressions nuanced and painful. He handles his 'revelation' in a prison scene near the end with aplomb.The one downside is a maudlin, overbearing score that draws too much attention to itself.This is a film that deserves to be better known. Thrillers with this kind of plot seldom have such multi-layered characters, or believable families and settings. An intelligent, rewarding film that I look forward to watching again.
mjordon I have seen a lot of movies with actors/actresses playing psychiatrists and how they are portrayed. Most of them are quite horrible, a few have a clue, but are saying things, psychiatrists in the field wouldn't say under any circumstances. However, the title THE UNSAID is; if not perfect, very close to it. Andy Garcia again pulls off what I feel maybe the hardest thing to pull off; a professional actor being a professional psychiatrist. I think the acting on every ones part was superb as well as the lighting and make up. I think a lot of detail was put in things as simple as sitting in a chair, when to lean back, when to lean forward. An excellent movie, I highly recommend it.
aramo1 Based on R1 DVD.After checking with IMDb I watched Unsaid with low expectations. Fortunately the film appears to be underrated at least in my eyes. Garcia and Kartheiser give strong performances and not withstanding an occasional weakness in a script that favours the 'girls do dumb things' school of thought the movie moves along at a good pace.During the directors commentary McLoughlin notes that Americans have a much tougher time with the big secret than Europeans. Perhaps this accounts for the weak IMDb rating. Well worth watching, 7/10.
MedievalinNYC *May be Spoilers*This is one of those films you wish you could rewrite and/or reedit. It was good, but.........The film kept my interest, but it just tried to incorporate too many different angles. The whole thing with the Son was unnecessary. The story never fulfilled the connection. The Mystery behind Caffey's past and his relationship with Garcia's daughter added enough intensity to carry the film. The Motives regarding Caffey botching up his release from the institution could have been more justified if there was more focus on the relationship between him & the daughter. The Conversations with Caffey's Father & Garcia's character could have been more suspenseful by incorporating them through out the film. I also feel that Caffey's character could have mentally toyed with Garcia's character a little more.The twist at the end leaves you saying, "uh!" It was unexpected and uncommon to see that in films.Basically there were a lot of script flaws, but there were a lot of good aspects to the story. It was a slightly over done thriller, similar to those Lifetime films.The plot should have been more character driven, instead of being so episodic.Visually, it was less than cinematic. The style was reminiscent of a movie of the week. The performances were great, even though Caffey's character was a little tricky to pull off (due to the storyline), but the actor did a good job.It was a good film that fell short. It definitely had the potential to be a lot better.
