The greatest movie ever made..!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

This is one of my favorite TV movies. I watch Lifetime quite often as they have some good mysteries, but am not normally impressed with the quality of the movies in the sense they mostly seem to be formulaic (and often overtly or ambivalently anti-male). This however is a TERRIFIC movie. Though part mystery, part fantasy, it is very realistic and emotionally seductive. Bell is VERY believable and sympathetic (and also beautiful). For once in an LMN movie the males are not totally stupid, insensitive or uncaring. I loved the ending when I found the apparently "bad" guy (who looked menacing and scary) was actually a hero. The twists and turns were not only surprising but touching. Rarely have I FELT so much in a movie. It raises some disturbing issues but resolves in a positive but believable way. I purchased this on DVD as it is a movie I can watch over and over. The soundtrack reinforces the uncertainty and the emotions, the acting is uniformly good, the script very believable (though addressing supernatural or paranormal issues), the direction crisp and production values relatively high. I recommend this to anyone who likes FEEL GOOD movies and can handle a little bit of fantasy.

***SPOILERS*** It takes a while for the made for TV movie "Still Small Voices" to get it's act together with 911 emergency operator Michael Summer, Catherine Bell, tracking down what exactly has been driving her almost insane since she almost bled to death on the operating table giving birth to a stillborn child. Michael had since been suffering hallucinations on her job and nightmares in her sleep about something that happened some thirty years ago that she's somehow connected to.Forced to take an unwanted vacation by her boss Sgt. Gillett, Eugene Clark, Michael is then drawn to this out of the way town in rural Pennsylvania called Starlight. It's there that Michael is confronted with an event that in some strange way is responsible for what she's been going through the last few weeks the drowning of local 10 year-old girl Carrie Waverly, Emily Swiss. Just as were introduced to Carrie and the circumstances of her death or disappearance were confronted with this other ten year-old girl Nellie Lipton, Kendra Mio, who disappeared about the same time that Carrie did. What now comes into the picture, with the connection between Carrie and Nellie, is just what the two girls have to do with each other!The film saves all it fireworks and surprises for the very end and it's well worth waiting for with the story up until then leaving it's audience almost totally confused to what's going on. Michaels visions of what happened to Carrie are right on target and so accurate to the point where they pinpoint to just who was responsible for both her kidnapping and possible murder a convicted both serial murder and arsonist named Burton Hayes, Charles Martin Smith.The both shocking and totally out of the blue surprise ending is a bit too much to take but after it's sprung you realize that it's about the only thing that ties, as unrelated as they are, all the loose ends of the movie together. Michael discovers the truth behind Carrie's disappearance and that truth has to do with someone very close to her. There's also the story of this wild looking guy who keeps popping up in the movie with a star-like tattoo on his chest and ax who keeps breaking down doors. We and Michael get the impression that he had something to do with Carrie's, as well as her friends Nellie, death or disappearance.****SPOILER ALERT**** It's only at the very end of the movie that Michael realizes that he, the crazy looking tattooed guy, was in fact the person who saved Carrie's life when she was left to die in a burning building by that psycho Burton Hayes. The "Star-Man" not realizing that Nellie was already dead tried to later rescue her like he did Carrie only to end up dying in the flames. As for Carrie she not only survived but grew up into adulthood and it's those circumstances and the person responsible for them that's undoubtedly the big surprise at the conclusion of "Still Small Voices".

This movie showcased the strong acting talent of Catherine Bell. The vehicle was wonderfully written, well-edited and paced to make the viewer keep interest. I would love to see Still Small Voices on DVD, and there was enough left open at the end for a possible sequel. I think that this movie sets the bar for measuring just how and what other television movies should be made. Kudos to Ms. Bell for her portrayal of Michael, and also to Jolene Rice, for creating this wonderful script. Here's to seeing more from this pair of talented ladies in the near future!

The baby that played Michael Summer's (Catherine Bell) baby Annie did not receive any mention in the credits. Annie was played by my daughter Emily Reid. Both she and her twin sister Holly were cast for the role of Annie Summer. Holly was a bit grumpy by the time they began to shoot, so Emily did the entire shoot.Catherine Bell did an amazing job of keeping Emily calm. By the end of the shoot I think Emily would have been just as happy to go home with Catherine as she would have with us.I've only seen the end of the movie at this point, but every one I have spoken with that has seen this movie says it is riveting.
