Speak

Speak (2004) is an American drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Jessica Sharzer adapted Laurie Halse Anderson's acclaimed novel, with Kristen Stewart playing Melinda Sordino — a freshman who walks into high school already carrying a secret she can't bring herself to name.

Her old friends cut her off after she called the police at a summer party. Her parents are too distracted to ask the right questions. Melinda stops talking, retreats to an old school closet and fills sketchbooks with trees she can't seem to draw right. The only adult who notices anything is art teacher Mr. Freeman, played by Steve Zahn, and even he doesn't know what he's seeing.

The film earns its tagline — "The truth will change everything" — by refusing to look away from what happens to Melinda and how long silence protects the wrong person. Stream Speak (2004) online on iFILM.
