SPEAK NO EVIL - (2022)

My parents were two extremes. My mother would immediately pounce on someone doing something wrong, either to her, her family or anybody else really - she had an acid tongue, was in the military, and had an iron will. She could reduce men to tears. My father though - he was polite to a fault. He'd let so many things slide, just to keep the peace. He had his limits as far as insult and injury go, but he'd overlook so much in his desire to both be accepted and lessen any friction. Speak No Evil is about that, and about where we find ourselves in general, as a society pertaining to Western culture. A Danish family is invited to spend the weekend at their new friend's place in Holland - mother, father and daughter meeting the parents of a young, mostly mute boy. From the very start there are subtle things wrong with these friends and the way they treat the Danish trio. To say more would be to infringe on your enjoyment of the film if you haven't seen it. Speak No Evil escalates to one of the most horrific finishes to a movie I've ever seen - so be warned that it's hard to sit through. In the end though, it encourages you to think about where lines should be drawn - who's right and who's wrong and why is there so little clarity in the world today? It might even encourage you to be clear, forthright and stand your ground when you know something is wrong. You'll be too afraid not to, in any regard.
