Excellent but underrated film
Absolutely Fantastic
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
There are things that happen to an unfortunate few people that are so painful, so full of guilt, that recovering from it seems nearly impossible. "Till Human Voices Wake Us" tells the story of Sam Franks and his spiritual journey out of the dark and back into the light. But, who is the young woman that is helping him? Apparently, this movie did not impress very many critics. Why, I'm not sure--because it is truly a wonderful, nearly perfect story about salvation. And where that salvation actually comes from.I hope that Michaell Petroni will be able to make many more movies, because it would be a shame if such a talented and sensitive film maker were not able to continue.
The most amazing thing I found about this film was Bonham Carters impeccable accent. As an Australian I am often subjected to attempts at our accent, and while some are better than others I have never in my life heard someone from another country, even New Zealand, be able to replicate it flawlessly. Until now.I've had this conversation with people from all kinds of countries with all kinds of accents and it seems that there's a certain level of agreeance regarding how comparitively difficult the Austalian accent is to copy.I'm looking forward to Johnny Depp in Shantaram giving it a go. HBC is co-starring so he should have some good tips to get him started.
I watched this movie on television while it was running several times one month. The first time I watched it, I got antsy and changed the channel back and forth. I wound up watching it in its entirety several times later on. It is a haunting, intriguing film. Guy Pearce, of course, is extraordinary and so is Helena BC. I see it as a portrayal of a tortured soul who is still in shock from a momentary incident which altered his existence forever. One moment he is an innocent boy and the next he is suppressing a nightmare he cannot come to terms with for half his adult life.Once he allows himself to live the entire scenario with all the memories and the what if's, when he allows the ghost to be free, the tortured soul is also released. A beautiful, poetic and memorable film.
I can't understand exactly why this movie seemed so good to me. It doesn't have a very elaborated plot. But the movie somehow speaks to us.The way the director tell such a dense story is marvelous. Movies like this leaves us breathing deeply when it ends. You will fall in love for the characters, and pity them. The movie suffers from a certain lack of complexity. In some minutes you can easily understand what's happening (and, if you read the box summary, then you will get it in no time at all). Still, it's pretty, and adorable.The musical score is perfect. It draws us into the movie most of the time, and makes our hearth pounds together with the scenes.Till Human Voices Wake Us is a poem. Simply as that.
