Gifted film-maker Isabel Coixet has crafted a rewardingly dark comedy of profound emotional resonance. The earthy performances feel vividly lifelike, wholly uncontrived. A compassionate, visually sublime film of rare insight and enormous sensitivity. While dealing bluntly with the multifaceted, deleterious effects of depression, Coixet's sardonic text has an edifying warmth and humanity not oft seen. And the rumours were true, Andrew McCarthy does have the most delectable behind! As though having been deliciously cloistered in some magnificently lucid dream, I genuinely didn't want 'Things I Never Told You' to end, this charming, elegiac indie masterpiece is eminently worthy of rediscovery. While frequently exploring the murkier interstices of the human soul, this engagingly intelligent drama is never trite or maudlin, but, mirroring its spellbinding star, Lili Taylor, it maintains an uncommonly forceful fascination!
