Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

M MALIK till the human voices wake us 2002 is a bad boring film no matter what version you see cut or uncut i don't even know what version i sit through but this film was nonsense.the story is terrible i like romance,dialog oriented & tragedy films but this was a let down it was just a wannabe tearjerker to put it simply or just for sake of asking sympathy for shallow characters.i am a fan of both of these actors Guy Pearce & Helena Bonham carter just what in the blue hell these two were doing here is beyond me there is no chemistry between them at all.the films editing is terrible,pace is slow i don't want the backstory just show me the characters & take the story forward unfortunately main lead actors make a late entry in the film & i lost interest maybe i expected a different film like some slow burning suspense thriller of two lovers with extreme romance & lots of hot sex,none of it is here this film is about 2 people who like each other as kids they go their own ways when they grow up they meet again and their romance begins again & ends on a dull note with a sad ending or rather stupid one.this could have been turned into a great erotic horror flick if the script was changed as the title name sounds great.if i have to say one good thing about this crap it just gotta be Helena Bonham Carter's Hair style oh yes she looks crazy in the role but dressing & long hair is spot on,Helena did try her best here but the script sucks there was nothing for her talents here she did better films in 80s & 90s.this film sucks i failed to enjoy it not even a single memorable dialog comes from this over depressing junk film my rating is 3/10.Skipp It and please don't be tricked by the cool stylish poster.

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 Joiner 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.

LadyBeth10 I just came across this film on The Movie Channel this morning. I'm home sick in bed, and there's not much else to do. Wow, am I glad I did. I don't know what other movies this writer/director has made, but believe me, I will look them up. I've only read other user reviews, and if the critics panned it, then I don't care to read theirs. Sometimes films that are not easily categorizable, get lost in the modern film market. Whether it is a ghost story, or a psychological gestalt is left up to the viewer's interpretation. I rarely come on here to post, but this film compelled me to do so. This film brought me to tears, both happy and sad. Like a beautiful poem, it unfolds slowly and heartbreakingly. The writing, direction, acting, cinematography, and score are excellent. I'm so glad I DVR'd it, because I'm watching it again. It does remind one of Bergman and some of Kurosawa's more personal films in it's intimate construction. But this filmmaker stands on his own. It haunts you and is absolutely unforgettable.

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.
