Pluskylang Great Film overall
Nayan Gough 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.
Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
ethal-10611 This movie's "moral" basically amounts to... If someone doesn't share your beliefs and won't sacrifice their physical and financial well-being just to make you feel better, assault them!
deideiblueeyez Whether you are Christian or not, I don't care. What matters is what this film tries to teach the audience and where it falls flat.Just off the top of my head:1) The clinic that our main character glares daggers at all the time is a clinic that offers abortions as a service. It is *not* a clinic that *only* offers abortions. The women there get contraceptives, pap smears, exams, and other checkups to guarantee their health. 2) The main character acts like something is up when he is not allowed to know personal CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION about the people who visit there. Sorry, but you're not a doctor, you're some random guy on the street. You do not have the privilege to know anything that's not your business, least of all because you are not a friend or family member.3) The medical professional will not, can not, and would not perform abortions on unwilling women because it would mean they would be sued to kingdom come, not to mention that there are laws against performing surgery on people who have not given the OK. That abusive husband would have had the cops called on him immediately. If anything, the staff working there would have tried to stall him as long as possible while keeping the pregnant woman safe, perhaps into protective custody or a women's shelter while they dealt with the one-dimensional villain.4) If abortions are not available to women, they will find more dangerous, back alley ways to do it. Women have been having abortions since forever and if it wasn't through a doctor it was drinking herbs or throwing themselves downstairs. Barring access to something as clean and safe as an abortion clinic for someone who is committed to aborting the fetus will only drive them to find other dangerous means to do it. As for people who claim it's "killing children", millions of children die all around the world from hunger and disease that are aggravated by severe poverty, famine, war, terrible orphanage systems, or abusive/neglectful parents. Lives that were statistically inevitable because of the people who birthed them, their country of origin, and the state of affairs in the region they were born. I say that it is only humane to prevent such suffering by stopping it before it could ever occur. To allow people to suffer through life knowing nothing but empty stomachs and battered bones and a numb tongue is a fate worse than death.
cwjohnsonjr Voiceless is a powerfully performed and well crafted story. The cinematography is moody, although occasionally fluctuations in the tint made it hard to look at the screen, the acting is decent, the characters are developed (human and not saints), and the screenplay is soul searching and thought provoking rather than preachy and feel-good. There were some problems with the sound at time that was distracting, but this is a low- budget film. One of the most powerfully characters, both in symbol and acting, was the Irish neighbor, although her background story was a little puzzling. Where was her father's church located when he fought for civil rights? Why is her accent so strong after living in Philadelphia for 50 years? However, these problems do not distract from a story that keeps moving, characters that grow, and a plot that thickens. I highly recommend you checkout Voiceless at your local theater.
kent-27210 This is a powerful movie! The film Demonstrates what a powerful difference One person can make in their community And how standing for what is right can Influence the people we come in contact With in our daily lives. Also, it demonstrates That when we are unwilling to confront evil, It can persist in our own cities and communities. I thought the acting was very good, the setting Was perfect and the story line was believable. I thought me main character Playing the pastor was realistic in the sense of someone returning From war and trying to adjust to civilian life. I was somewhat concerned With the fighting that was in the movie but after finishing the movie, I thought it fit the setting and plot and most of it was defensive in nature. Unfortunately, in poor inner city communities, Violence is part of every day life and it is something we should all oppose. The "violence" that was in this movie I took as "keeping it real"! Any negative Comments related to "interracial marriage" is uncalled for because we are One human race!
