I really liked this movie maybe because I have always been interested about psycology (and not working in that field though I have always wanted..). I have watched this movie twice (and that's a lot because normally I watch movies only once). Both times after watching this I felt that world isn't fair. I cried few times because world isn't fair.... So when you watch this movie be prepared to watch it with time. You really need to think about things.. I think that if you don't like this film you don't like these kind of films at all. But if you "like" this film you "like" film like The Heart is Deceitful about all Things. I really care about children and about their behauviour and it's really important for me to understand what they are feeling. This movie shows that how difficult and how important is to understand and listen that what they have / need to say.

Even though this movie was clearly made with a small budget, it looked very promising to me. I was almost certain that this would be such a movie with a disturbingly realistic subject, that goes right to and through your heart like a knife ... but it didn't. I'm not saying it was a bad movie, it just wasn't that good.The subject on itself isn't bad though. A young boy is kept in an institution because he saw his mom being murdered by his own father. Since then he hasn't shown much emotions and hasn't spoken about the incident. When Dr. Michael Hunter, a retired college professor and psychologist, examines the boy, he's convinced that they should keep him in the institution a bit longer because he isn't ready for the real world, that he might be a ticking time bomb. He starts working with the boy, in who he sees his own son who committed suicide a few years earlier, and gradually he is able to reveal the horrible truth...The acting in this movie isn't bad, but it wasn't great either. However, I guess you can't expect any better from a crew without many well-known names (Only Andy Garcia and Teri Polo I had heard of before seeing this movie, the rest of the cast was a complete mystery to me) and it has to be said, I've seen a lot worse in the past. The same can be said about the story which was OK, but not excellent. It was compelling, but somehow I missed something in it. Anyway, I'm already glad that it was a lot better than the average TV-movie that would deal with this subject. But if you want to see an excellent psychological thriller about this subject, than I suggest you watch "Primal Fear". That movie offers about the same story (murder, child abuse,...), but does it in a much better way. I give this movie a 6.5/10. It's worth a watch.

I saw the movie the other night. Actually the only reason I rented it was because I like Andy Garcia. Before spotting it in the video store, I had never heard of the movie before. I thought it was a very good movie. I was surprised at the ending, I thought I had it all figured out, but there was a little twist at the end.

Dr. Michael Hunter (the excellent actor and producer Andy Garcia) is a psychiatric traumatized by the suicide of his son. He is separated of his wife and his rebel teenager daughter lives with the mother. Barbara Wagner (Teri Polo) is her former student and now responsible in an orphanage for the teenager Tommy (Vincent Kartheiser), a boy traumatized by the death of his mother. Deep secrets will be revealed along this brilliant story. The plot starts as a drama, and as far as the characters reveal details about the real facts, the viewer gets more and more evolved by this surprisingly excellent psychological thriller. The story is very credible and realistic, the direction is tight and the performance of the cast is marvelous. Andy Garcia is the producer of this low budget, but excellent movie. A couple of months ago, I watched `The Man from Elysian Fields', also a low-budget good movie produced by him. Andy Garcia is selecting good screenplays for producing and revealing also an excellent producer. I regret the title of this movie in Brazil (`No Limite do Silêncio' – the translation would be `In the Limit of the Silence'). Do not ask me why, but in Brazil most of the movies have their titles changed. The distributors believe it makes the movie `more commercial'. The original title `The Unsaid' is perfect for the plot, but unfortunately, Brazilians have to deal with` In the Limit of the Silence'. This movie is highly recommended for lovers of a dense, dramatic and psychological thriller. My vote is eight.
