This film will not appeal to must audiences first due to it's taboo topic and secondly it's slow pacing and lack of a driving plot. But the films overall message does slowly come through for a satisfactory conclusion.
Through many silent long shots(plus the occasional voice over) we see the life of Jackie told mostly in the in between of normal life as she struggles to deal with her unspeakable act. Which is the act of loving and desiring her older brother. He does not share her physical desires so though close, their unusual relationship remains strained.
The Unspeakable Act is a movie that shows the struggles of a young girl made all the harder by the cultural taboo surrounding her feelings. She fights against the reality of adult life but inadvertently comes to accept the hard truths of her situation. Although you may not be able to identify with Jackie's situation, the film holds you in such a way that you can understand and feel for this conflicted character. Her story is so sincere that it makes you question if what is different is truly wrong
i highly recommend this film for people who enjoy a complex story that makes you think and doesn't give you the easy answers.
