Watch No One Would Tell For Free

The Age of Commercialism

People are voting emotionally.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This is a classic made for TV movie from 1996, its about teenagers and domestic violence leading to murder, based on a true story.I've watched this probably 20 times over the years, the only bad thing I have to say is the overall "style" and feel of the movie is getting more and more outdated as time goes on, but that's how it goes for most made for TV lifetime movies. they age bad.The acting is decent. The soundtrack is pretty good.

This movie was OK for the most part. Not a big fan of Candace Cameron but I do like Savage. The only reason why I saw this movie was because of a lesson in health class (yes im a teenager) on relationship abuse, so I really appreciate a movie over some notes or worksheets. But most importantly this movie sends a very important message about abusive relationships, don't ask for help or try to escape when it's too late, get help immediately.Candace Cameron (I forget her characters name i thinks it's Stacy) is surprised to find that one of the most athletic and popular boys in school, bobby, has a crush on her. They go out and the relationship grows more serious to the point where the two have sex (where bobby forced her to by saying it proves her love for him). The girl then finds herself a victim of abuse when bobby hits her for talking to other guys, not doing the things he asks her to do (because she must obey him). When she finally has the courage to leave him, bobby snaps. He finds a quiet place by a lake at night and stabs the main character until death. Her body is found and Bobby's friend who was there that night confesses that bobby was the one to kill her, wrap her body and throw her body into the lake. Bobby is sent to prison for life and justice is served. A pretty OK movie, good lesson though. I give it a 6.5/10

Now don't get me wrong, it is horrible when abuse like this happens in the real world. Abuse is no doubt a subject that should be dealt with care...this movie does not to a good job of that. First off, starting the movie with the revelation is a bad idea and the film has no surprises after, we know whats going to happen, it all depends on how and when. The good: fred and Candice held up well in the acting department for the most part. It is trying to deal with a serious issueThe bad: Bobby is as subtle as a gun to the face! He is always acting creepy, cruel or psycho even in scenes where he should not be. Now of course I can forgive that so long as we have a smart sympathetic lead...Stacy is horribly annoying! She is always complaining about the stuff she should not be, and keeps going back to bobby despite clear evidence he is insane. She goes back not once or twice like any believable person, but 7 times!!! And only during the sixth does she dump him, only to go back to him, calling him a friend!!! And after that...slaps her and then let's him drive her home!!! Actually whenever someone questions Stacy about bobby she always whines and says "you're just jealous because you can't find love!!!". What a horrible character! This is what kills the movie! Stacy is such a dumb idiot! If this really is based on a true story than I sincerely hope that the real person was not like this! Bye is clearly a horrible person and actual physical evidence of abuse Is on her body, but noooo!That aspect is really the only reason the movie get praised, it's based on a true story! If it was not than it would be shunned! The movie feels like one of those horrible teen dramas that use factors like this for a free pass. However, things like those are exploitive of the subject. Films like this should explore not exploit! I have no doubt a lot of the movie was made up and I pray to god that is the case.

The events in this movie seemed oddly familiar towards the end. It was then that I realized this movie was about a girl I knew. She was 14 and he was 16. They lived in Beverly MA. He used to babysit my younger sister until my mom witnessed Jaime hit Amy for the first time. She was a beautiful girl,smart,popular and friendly. I was only 12 at the time but I invited her to my birthday party. She disappeared 3 days before that. I remember all these reporters and even CNN came into the neighborhood for a story. The people who kept quiet were afraid to speak up, they were afraid of Jamie. They found Amy almost a month later at the bottom of a pond minutes from where I lived. I remember the shock that we all felt. It only intensified when we found out that someone who lived amongst us was responsible for this. This movie hit close to home. It also didn't stray from what really happened.
