SOME FILM!

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2011

Verified Purchase

It took a while for me to get my copy of "Some Voices" due to it coming twice with only half the film on the DVD. But Amazon took care of it and it was well worth the wait.
This is a wonderful character study of Ray a man who is struggling with his mental health and the beginnings of a new relationship with his brother (post mental institution release) and a new romance.
The versatile Daniel Craig turns in another stunning performance as Ray and lights up the screen in true movie star style. But there is more to his performance than that. It is textured and deep as he goes from trying to adjust to life out of the mad house to the touching dénouement.
The fine talents of David Morrissy and Kelly MacDonald support Daniel Craig and it is well worth viewing for these performances as well. The direction by Simon Cellan-Jones is seamless and brilliant.
This is Mr. Craig at his best pre-Bond and illustrates his growing power as perhaps the best actor of his generation.

Great movie, but FYI, it's a DVD-R

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2019

The content of this movie is great. Just keep in mind, that you are buying a "legal bootleg" here, a copy, a DVD-R, not a factory made product. Someone could have just as easily made this on their home computer if they had the appropriate software. The cover gets the point across, but again, you can tell this is not an "official" studio release. Steep price for a legal copy.

First off the description of the movie is horrible. This is a great story and the actors are all fantastic. They pull you into their lives.

I read one 3 star review that says there was no back story on the main character. That person must not have been paying attention. The brothers do talk about a dramatic childhood.

Well worth your time.

Brilliant performance from Daniel Craig as Ray, who leaves a mental hospital to move in with his brother, played by David Morrissey. Ray is funny and charismatic, and his new relationship with Kelly MacDonald is delightful... till he goes off his meds, in an upsetting, heartbreaking and ultimately edge-of-the-seat horrifying way.

Cracking performances from everyone and more tension towards the end than most thrillers. The best film I`ve seen in a long time, too.

As an aside, I noticed no problem with the picture quality on my newish widescreen TV.

Fine for what it is.

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2006

I didn't have huge expectations for this movie, so I gave it 4 stars because it succeeded on its modest ambitions and expectations. I'll go so far as to say I was pleasantly surprised. While it follows the low budget "crazy" lovers structure seen in other largely unwatched movies like "Mad Love" and "Angel Baby" this movie is better than those, I feel.

It's part comedy, part drama, part portrait of people who struggle with a terrible mental illness as well as the people whose lives they affect. In some parts the editing has that flashy, self-consciously postmodern feel that was popular in the U.K. (among other places) at the turn of the century, but it's for the most part well-utilized and not intrusive. There's laughs, touching moments, a setting rich with atmosphere, and a pretty neat soundtrack.

The story revolves around Ray, a guy released from a mental hospital who goes to work in his brother Pete's restaurant. Pete is watchful, protective, concerned, and worried about his brother, but this is born out of a genuine desire to see him succeed but at the same time worry over a relapse. Ray meets Laura, a mentally ill young woman, and the two fall in love very quickly. Things start going so well for Ray he feels his medication is unnecessary and discontinues it. Then things start to go bad.

While it sounds easy to predict what will happen from there, I should say there's a little more than you'd think, and it's carried over with a great deal of sympathy, tension, and believability. Not much is cliché or trite and the movie is a well-executed work.

The acting also excels. Daniel Craig as Ray (unrelated note: I still find Craig as an implausible choice for James Bond - we'll soon find out) adds just the right dimension to this role to generate interest and keep it realistic, with a nice division between feeling sympathy for him but also worried about his situation and prospects. Kelly Macdonald also excels here, which is no surprise, she is always a very enjoyable actor to watch, and is fantastic playing the warm, down-on-their-luck women roles; she's in her element here. David Morrissey is fine as the protective older brother but I wasn't left with a strong impression on the performance. Julie Graham is a good Scottish character actor who does a fine turn in her role as the waitress Mandy.

To conclude, this is a surprisingly fine movie, but by no means a great or excellent one. It succeeds in its objectives, entertains well through a mixture of drama and comedy, boasts strong characterization, plotting, setting, bolstered by a good script and fine acting. If you've found your way to this remote review, it's probably because you have some interest in an aspect of the movie, and anyone with an interest I'd recommend watching this movie, I don't think it's apt to disappoint.

very good in the role

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2016

Verified Purchase

Enjoyable -- the actress is cute, very good in the role, and there is good writing and flow. The lack of a backstory (what Daniel Craig's character's past is all about is never revealed) was a problem for me, made it a bit incomplete. His performance seemed a bit forced, but had enough true notes that I got past it. I like movies that are slices of life, that's what this is, so if the beginning is sudden and the end not more than an ending that leaves you with the feeling of how things will be vs. what happened next? It still works for me. 4 stars if it was more complete. 5 if a huge tragedy occurs and you feel it. Those lacking, it's a solid 3+.

Bon et beau film indépendant.
Un Daniel Graig comme on ne le voie jamais et qui est vraiment excellent dans son rôle.
Le sujet principal est plus secondaire et l'histoire et la relation amoureuse et du mal être sont plus présent, ce qui ne gâche rien.
Un très beau film. Emouvant et telement dur et vrai.

daniel craig was first class in his role in this film. he had mental health issues and had to take medication for this. i felt for the character and it was a first class acting role. the brother who was always trying to be there for him was believable and well acted. this film is not the easiest to watch but anything that brings an illness to life as the acting here did is worth a look.well done on this film. a jem i felt.
