Thanks for the memories!

How sad is this?

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

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.

I just caught this film on cable. I've never heard of it before. Had to view it 2 times because it blew me away! Unlike many films today, it really made you think; every little subplot wasn't explained like you're an idiot, it is riotously funny, great little thriller-plot. However, it's the sub-plots the keep you going. You have to see it twice, just to catch everything. Anyway, I just loved it. One of the most interesting movies I've seen in a while. I agree with some of the other comments: Why aren't I hearing more about this movie. I expected it to be of cult status by now. Oh yeah, did anyone catch the credits? They are almost as funny as the movie.

This movie is a total romp. Campbell Scott is the man to watch. Try not to miss a word he says. I can easily imagine this thing becoming a cult film. We have already adopted several family slang phrases from stuff he said.David Aaron Baker and Mary McCormack are gorgeous, and Rob Morrow as her brother is wildly over-the-top as a non-meds-compliant Tourette's Syndrome patient. Stockard Channing as the shrink from Hell just fell right in line with the rest of the madness instead of curing any. Do yourself a favor and see this thing. I'll bet you'll thank me for the nudge.

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.
