Don't Tell

"Emotions bubble close to the surface at all times – they might have been more pronounced if the film-maker had taken more risks."

"It’s a thoughtful, quietly shocking film, beautifully made."

"Left despairingly silent by disbelief, guilt, and denial, Tori Garrett's film effectively tells the tale of the individual struggling to be heard in the face of an uncaring institution."

"Overall, the polite, and often static nature of Don’t Tell’s scripting suggests it might have fared better as a TV movie."

"It’s one of the year’s best performances in an Australian film, and it might be enough to allow director Garrett’s effort to be heard over all those damn American pics out there."

"But compare Don't Tell to the Oscar winning Spotlight — another film about a specific set of crimes against children and it's clear how much more focused and sharply political the American film was."
