Intimes confessions

Wow, who'd thought it. A 90's underground thriller with unknown cast and title; nobody would expect a big thing out of it. But that's when we're wrong.

This film is hugely entertaining; the story develops very quickly and intensely, the writer/director is really professional on how to get the spectator. The story is original and unpredictable, you never know what is gonna happen next. The outcome is the most impossible to guess, I really doubt anyone can find it out before the last 15 minutes. The whole thing is similar to "Never Talk To Strangers", both have a great twist in the end. It's really such a shame that there aren't even 1000 voters on this title's page, this film deserved to be much more recognized. See it if you like an intense suspense!

Edit: I have to complaint about Brazilian's title. They translated it to something like "Whispers of Pleasure", and I saved this film on my television after it was on a cable channel. My parents saw it's title and surely thought I recorded some kind of porn, when actually it was just a thriller.

I'm glad I stayed up to watch this one - I'd actually turned on the television to watch the previous movie that night and fortunately decided to keep on the same channel. I wasn't familiar with any of the cast before this movie, but the script was well written and the actors portrayed all the characters well.

This is definitely a movie where you have to keep your brain switched on to "thinking" mode to enjoy properly. Hardly surprising when almost all the characters are psychiatrists, detectives or patients on the therapists couch. The main theme of the movie is what happens when love is blind and you trust your instincts rather than the sober voices of friends around you. In a rather chilling twist, you are also made to consider just how much you should trust your friends who may have their own ulterior motives behind their apparent concern.

I along with, I imagine, most people watching this movie had the ending all figured out in my head - or so I thought until one of the best twists I can think of in a thriller - and was just waiting to see how and when they were going to prove me correct. I was, of course, completely wrong and a dramatic turn of events towards the end made this a thoroughly enjoyable movie which left me analysing the analysts long after the final credits had rolled. For those who enjoy this genre, I would highly recommend "Whispers In The Dark". I rated it at 8 out of 10 after one viewing, although I may have to watch again to decide if I should have rated it a 9. Definitely worth a night in.

This is actually a rather dull film for the most part---the red herrings are preposterous and uninteresting and the sexuality never goes beyond cheap titillation. It hints at more interesting things and nine times out of ten it punks out at exploring those intriguing themes, going for the cheap thrill every opportunity. And it's not that thrilling, period.

But the ending is amazing. It kept me laughing for weeks after I'd seen the movie. So ludicrous and out of nowhere it comes off like a bad joke, or incomparable idiocy. It still makes me giggle every time I think about it. I can barely type right now.

See this movie for the last thirty minutes. It's worth it.

If you have seen New York themed movies that are enthralling, "Marathon Man" was suspenseful, but "Whispers in the Dark", is erotic and enthralling at the same time. Here you have a psychiatrist(Annabella Sciorra) who is having dreams of her own while she tends to her clients. She would meet Doug(Jamey Sheridan) who is a pilot. One of the clients, Eve(Deborah Unger) explain explicitly about her dreams to her. In one of the sessions, Eve would strip down and nearly exposes herself to the doctor. Very raw there. At the lunch scene, Dr. Ann Hecker discovered that Doug was also Eve's other lover. Dr. Hecker has a shrink, Dr. Green(Alan Alda). He has been with her since she was in medical school. He has helped her out in many ways, only to find out that he is a questionable reputation. I don't know why this movie was cut down. Some parts were on the obvious side, other than that, I enjoyed it very much. Not the best movie, but not the worst. It has a great cast though. Very watchable 2 out of 5 stars

The plot is much better than any of the superhero that is so popular these days. This is an underrated gem which needs to be viewed by many. A good suspense thriller has a lot of red herrings to confuse the viewer and this story had plenty of them. The movie is engaging and interesting enough to keep the viewer guessing in anticipation.

Sadly, commercial movies with fantasized superheroes who always save the day in the end is what 2010s will always be known for.
