So much average

Absolutely the worst movie.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This film is about a strange an intriguing young woman who claims to be from the future. She lives in a basement which she never leaves, claiming that her immune system cannot handle the present environment. She develops a small following of individuals who come to see her, some under false pretenses. Some want to learn how to prepare themselves for the future and what to expect, while others are skeptics wanting to expose her.At first we get the feeling that she is a scam artist who is not what she claims to be, especially after a particularly tense and hilarious scene featuring the wonderful Cranberries song "Dreams." But then, as events unfold, we're not so sure of anything anymore. We are at first skeptics, like the characters in the film, and then we're intrigued, just as they are. It's an interactive experience.Additionally, I love that the film is both character-driven and plot-driven. I typically enjoy character-driven films for the mere fact that the plot-driven films tend to nearly always forego proper character development. But I still love a good story. This film has both! Just like the storyline, the characters are complex and original, their motivations never quite clear but always believable.And to top it off, Sound of My Voice is extremely well-acted in addition to being well-written. It's a wonderful experience that's not quite like any other film I've encountered. The director and his writing partner, who starred in the lead role, must be called geniuses for coming up with this masterful work of art that is so delicately and expertly crafted. The pace of the film is perfect and the constant intensity builds and builds all the way up until the magnificent, powerful ending.A lot of thought and effort undoubtedly went into the creation of this film. But sometimes thought and effort aren't enough. Filmmaking is a risky and precarious business, as intangible factors and chance can keep a film from being as great as it could be, but in the case of Sound of My Voice, it was too good an idea for any of that to hold it back from greatness. It is a truly great independent film, and at 85 minutes it's not a minute too long. The only downside is that I didn't want it to end!

This film sucks on so many levels. If there is a story it takes so damned long to evolve that you're prone to losing the plot trying to keep tit in your numb brain. The acting is dreadful, except maybe the child, whose daughter is 20 years older than her, wtf? There was no music that I could recall except some excruciating 'song from the future'. A gun is drawn and at last I thought thee might have been some thrill. Wrong, yet another pointless scene. The secret sign made me cringe and reminded me of some childish fantasy, but way too tedious and stupid for a child to make up. The director should take up tiddly winks, might give his life some meaning.

I had never heard of this film before buying it on the cheap at the video store, but it looked interesting so for $1.99 I figured why not? I really enjoyed the movie overall, they characters were easy enough to believe and the story save for a few points was readily followed. I thought the character of Maggie was well cast especially, and the role of Peter was also well played. I was really unprepared for a few of the twists, which I consider a good thing, as it often kept one guessing. I don't know that i would have paid $20.00 for the DVD, but it is one I watch regularly and wont tire of anytime soon. It has a decent story line, and I feel a decent ending. I would have appreciated a little more back ground information on the more senior members of Maggies "cult", but you cant have everything. Still well worth the watch.

This indie film, despite its flaws, including some annoyingly uninspiring cult indoctrination moments and the sub-Lost-non-ending ending, which leaves space for weirdos to interpret as a suggestion that cults aren't really just trying to steal your money and indoctrinate you into doing something stupid like kill yourself in tennis shoes, actually kept me excited to the very "end." I'm interested in seeing what these folks can come up with next time. The story was mostly good, and the production, even for a low budget film, was beautiful. I just hope they can resolve something in their next piece.
