10 Perfect Movies That You've Never Heard Of

11. Speak - 2004

The movie is probably the most underappreciated Kristen Stewart movie of all time (and yes I'm including Twilight).

If you have doubts about Kristen Stewart as an actress (and you really shouldn't in 2021), this is the movie you need to watch. Stewart plays a young girl named Melinda who, you guessed it, doesn't really speak. It's not immediately apparent why she has chosen not to talk, but you're instantly aware that something must of happened. Melinda is seen as an outcast, something that seems to have come about before she chose to take a vow of silence.

But the beautiful thing about this movie is that as more of the past is revealed the more you realise that her silence is not a choice. Among with everything else in her life. She can't speak, because she cannot face the trauma she experienced.

The acting in the movie is phenomenal, and all the characters in Melinda's story have a deep impact on the film.

It's a shame that this movie is so unknown, because it was truly ahead of its time. With a story that would resonate with so many teenagers today, this movie should be up with the likes of Eighth Grade, Edge of Seventeen and The Perks of Being A Wallflower.
