Indizi dal passato

I am not normally a TV movie fan but this one kept me riveted from the start and left me an emotional puddle at the end! I saw the trailers and was expecting one thing but the story turned out to be something entirely different. There was nothing predictable or formulaic about it, that's for sure! The only minor criticism I have is with some of the secondary character actors...slightly overacted at times, but the story line/writing more than made up for the minor distraction. Was this an original screenplay or adapted from a book? I have a feeling the book would be even better because there seemed to be a lot of symbolism and detail that could have been missed if you weren't paying close attention in the movie (and could have been more significant/dramatic in book form). Loved the movie...I'd buy the book!

I loved this movie. I am trying to buy it, but it may be too early. I wanted others to see it. Dramas like this are not in the theater. The last movie I saw that was this good of a drama was "Something the Lord Made", but that was a different topic. This story is suspenseful, and once you get to the end you will want to see it again. Add to it, the elemnets of truth of stories that really happen...that makes this so real. C. Bell was amazing. I didn't realize she did "The Triangile". So, I will really look for her now. Loved this story and don't want to give away anything. The shocking part is that this could be a true story. The pieces all fit together after you see it.

I thought this movie was excellent....it was basically a one-woman show, and Catherine Bell didn't disappoint! The twists, turns and surprises kept you guessing, and the way the movie wrapped things up and resolved itself was very well done.

The rest of the cast was excellent, and this is one movie I'll watch over and over.

The range of emotions shown in this movie took the viewer on a complete roller-coaster ride, the person you thought was the "bad" guy really wasn't, it just kept you guessing the entire time. The mind is a complex machine, and the way our minds heal & try to protect us, but then can play tricks on us, well that's pretty much what the movie was all about!

In New York, the operator Michael Summer (Catherine Bell) returns to her work in the 911 Dispatch after the stillbirth of her daughter Emma in the delivery. Michael is still traumatized, having nightmares with a little girl abducting her daughter in the delivery room. When Michael reports a call from a six year-old girl in a house in fire, the address is not found by the rescue team and there is no record of the call in the computer, and her boss asks her to take a vacation to seek psychiatric help. While at home, she receives another call from the girl and the disturbed Michael becomes obsessed to find the girl. She drives to Pennsylvania where she finds Bud Atherton (Damir Andrei), the owner of a newspaper in the little town Starlight, who helps her to follow her leads. Meanwhile, her husband Ash Summer (Mark Humphrey) seeks her out since Dr. Elaine Trussle (Mimi Kuzyk) has just discovered that Michael has an aneurism and needs to be urgently operated. Ash waits for new from Michael in the house of her mother Ann Hartley (Deborah Grover), who had also dedicated her life to help people, while his wife unravels a hidden secret.

"Still Small Voices" is a surprisingly great television movie, with a solid screenplay with an unpredictable twist in the end. The plot and the characters are very well developed, supported by an excellent direction and a good performance of Catherine Bell. I love movies that surprise me with unexpected conclusions, and this is one of the best Canadian movies I have ever seen. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Vozes do Passado" ("Voices from the Past")

I honestly wasn't a Lifetime channel watcher because the movies are always the same, but this one knocked me out. It was better than most I've seen in theaters. I thought I solved the mystery a couple times, but was wrong. Talk about plot twists! And everything added up at the end. The acting was very good across the board. Catherine Bell was great, totally believable and played the role very sympathetically on many levels without that typical Lifetime blubbering. I hadn't seen much of her before this. (I never saw Jag, but remember her from Bruce Almighty) We talked about the movie for twenty minutes after it ended, going over how things added up (like the Sixth Sense)and it really did add up. If you haven't seen it...PAY ATTENTION! There's one part we couldn't figure out...I won't spoil, had to do with losing some hair, but that's all I'll say, so I'm definitely watching it again to relive all those moments and figure that one out too. I never write comments on these sites. A+
