Bereamic Awesome Movie

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

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

MattyGibbs I am a big fan of both Guy Pearce and Australian cinema so I was pleased to chance upon this film recently. Pearce plays a psychologist Dr Sam Franks who is haunted by a tragic past. A chance meeting with a stranger changes his life. This a slow moving but engrossing story which flits back and forth from Sams childhood to the current day as we get to know what shaped him into a lonely and tortured soul. The film works equally well in both time periods as the pieces are put in place as it builds to an emotional ending. The acting is excellent from all parties. I'm not Helena Bonham Carters biggest fan but she does a good job in this. Also impressive are the younger actors especially Lindley er as the young Sam. Till Human Voices Wake Us is a tragic tale of lost love and how this can deeply affect all of us. It won't appeal to everyone but for people who like well written drama this is well worth watching.

Katrina I haven't seen such a beautiful movie in a while, it's tragic and it's romantic. This movie is haunting, there are some truly poignant moments of a man having to deal with and let go of a lost love. The location is beautiful, the acting is great, the cinematography and the story really takes you on a journey. It's subtle and real. It left a good impression on me. It's a superb Australian film. Credit goes to the beautiful Helena Bonham Carter who managed to pull off a convincing Australian accent! The music is good too, it really creates the mood. The dancing in the water scene was so romantic. It makes you think about the relationships you have with other people. See it if you haven't all ready!

John Holden What is this movie about? It's mostly a sentimental flashback to a time when the protagonist was a teenager and let his crippled girlfriend drown. That's not enough though: we see him upset at the death of his mom; we see how cold and distant his dad is; we see him pull a calf out of the mom with a rope.We mostly see the adult thinking back to his adolescence and the relationship he had with a girl in braces. He thinks much about this. To help him think, windshield wipers sweep slowly across a wet windshield giving partial but revealing glimpses of something; he stares at the moon in the water; he stares at the moon itself; he picks up leaves and dust and, yes, stares at them.Then he flashes back to his boyhood where his teenage self thinks while he stares at the moon up and down in the water; and has heavy new-agey conversations with his girlfriend; and then thinks some more.At one point I thought I some kind of Disney-produced Hardy boys movie that happened to be made in Australia.My guess is that the producer(s)/director saw some European movies and thought it would be cool to use the same kind of pacing. Problem is, you need a story, a focal point, some good dialogue, and some cleverness to pull off this kind of thing. This movie has none of that.To experiment, I rewound and then FF'd at 2x and 3x speed. It was amazing: the movie is just as vacuous and boring at high speed.There are numerous swimming, wading and floating scenes. I thought "Great, this is Australia. A 20' croc is going to come up and snag the girl. Maybe it will thrash and roll around a lot before being shot by the local hunter. Maybe we'll see a snapping turtle tearing flesh off the girls head." No such luck though.Pearce seems to be a nothing actor. HB Carter is as always: strained, wispy, frail, intense, wispy, strained, punctuated, precocious, wispy and frail. Her range is about 1".The truly amazing thing is that Brannaugh left the brilliant and intelligent Emma Thompson for HB Carter - who doesn't even have big t*ts.Avod this at any cost unless you want some background noise while you read a magazine.

Heavy_Storm 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.
