Clevercell Very disappointing...

Cortechba Overrated

Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

amk2f I have seen this movie occasionally on a cable channel & immediately ordered a copy on DVD. I have to highlight, that "Other Voices" is a very deep movie with several layers of understanding enclosed in little details. The movie is not just "weird" or simply "funny", it's not only about marriage troubles & self-absorption and loneliness of people. It's also about the unnaturalness of the living environment in a huge megalopolis, the senselessness of corporate jobs, the inevitability of social collapse to mention a few. Every single character in the movie, and unfortunately this is a very realistic part of it, is a lonely, unhappy and emotionally crippled person. The whole atmosphere, the inner energy of the film is very pressing. I would say, "Other Voices" is even more of current interest than it was back in 2000. Though the film is very intriguing, easy to watch & at times absolutely hilarious - it is at the same time very sad. It demands digging deeper into things, paying attention to the dialogs and little details, which at times turn out to be very profound. Just like this very impressive part, when John (Campbell Scott) tries to get in the nightclub in order to grab some beer there and the bouncer tells him he's not on the list, to which John replies something like that he's got "Henry f***ing Kissinger waiting in the car. Are you telling me Kissinger is not on the list?" In the meantime the satanically looking band in the club is playing a rather creepy heavy metal song with the following refrain "Insect instead of Jesus". This scene is very important in the movie, which brings up the problems of meaningless corporatism, death of family, break down of social communications, street riots, etc.

gfischer I've never encountered dialogue before where entire statements, indeed whole conversations, include the "F" word in every single sentence. The only possibly redeeming quality it has is that the sound is so bad you can't deciper a lot of it. For some peculiar reason I watched the whole thing to see if it could get any worse, and it did. If there was any point to any of it, I guess it was in some of the conversations I couldn't understand.

Lantrix Although I found the overall idea for this movie to be motivating enough to watch it to the end, the continuing twisting and turning of the plot throughout the movie lends you to a strange and bumpy ride. In my opinion the story line/plot just didn't cut it..I'm not sure if the director intended for this to be a thriller, or a drama, or a "unfaithful" style movie.Worth a one time watch when it pops its head up on a cable movie channel, then don't bother after that.

Captain Wolfsticks Campbell Scott, cast against type, is absolutely hilarious in this movie. Without him, the film itself is kind of average, but his performance is worth the price of admission alone. That is, if anyone would smarten up and buy and release this movie already!
