Overview

Freshman high-school student Melinda has refused to speak ever since she called the cops on a popular summer party. With her old friends snubbing her for being a rat, and her parents too busy to notice her troubles, she folds into herself, trying to hide her secret: that star senior Andy raped her at the party. But Melinda does manage to find solace in her art class headed by Mr. Freeman.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A quietly powerful portrait of a girl finding her voice after sexual assault, told through art and silence rather than exposition. The film trusts its audience to sit with discomfort and discovery at Melinda's pace.
