    Surprisingly Great Television Movie

    In New York, the operator Michael Summer (Catherine Bell) returns to her work in the 911 Dispatch after the stillbirth of her daughter Emma in the delivery. Michael is still traumatized, having nightmares with a little girl abducting her daughter in the delivery room. When Michael reports a call from a six year-old girl in a house in fire, the address is not found by the rescue team and there is no record of the call in the computer, and her boss asks her to take a vacation to seek psychiatric help. While at home, she receives another call from the girl and the disturbed Michael becomes obsessed to find the girl. She drives to Pennsylvania where she finds Bud Atherton (Damir Andrei), the owner of a newspaper in the little town Starlight, who helps her to follow her leads. Meanwhile, her husband Ash Summer (Mark Humphrey) seeks her out since Dr. Elaine Trussle (Mimi Kuzyk) has just discovered that Michael has an aneurism and needs to be urgently operated. Ash waits for new from Michael in the house of her mother Ann Hartley (Deborah Grover), who had also dedicated her life to help people, while his wife unravels a hidden secret.

    "Still Small Voices" is a surprisingly great television movie, with a solid screenplay with an unpredictable twist in the end. The plot and the characters are very well developed, supported by an excellent direction and a good performance of Catherine Bell. I love movies that surprise me with unexpected conclusions, and this is one of the best Canadian movies I have ever seen. My vote is eight.

    A really great movie, full of suspense

    I thought Catherine Bell played a wonderful part; it really showcased her skills in a way that some other parts have not. I've seen CB in a lot of other things (Men of War, JAG, Crash Dive, Hercules and Timeshifters, to name just a few), but it was really great to see her in something with a starring role, rather than a supporting/co-starring role; I feel it really gave her that space to shine! The opening scenes really hooked the viewer and the next few really drew them in. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole of the film, felt it flowed smoothly (kudos to Mario Azzopardi!)and I didn't even guess the ending until the big reveal! I usually find suspense and psychological movies a big let down, because I usually figure them out way before I'm 'supposed to'(Well done Jolene Rice!) This film was great and just like other viewers have commented to me, once the film finished, I would have happily started it up to watch all over again!

    Changing my opinion about Lifetime

    I honestly wasn't a Lifetime channel watcher because the movies are always the same, but this one knocked me out. It was better than most I've seen in theaters. I thought I solved the mystery a couple times, but was wrong. Talk about plot twists! And everything added up at the end. The acting was very good across the board. Catherine Bell was great, totally believable and played the role very sympathetically on many levels without that typical Lifetime blubbering. I hadn't seen much of her before this. (I never saw Jag, but remember her from Bruce Almighty) We talked about the movie for twenty minutes after it ended, going over how things added up (like the Sixth Sense)and it really did add up. If you haven't seen it...PAY ATTENTION! There's one part we couldn't figure out...I won't spoil, had to do with losing some hair, but that's all I'll say, so I'm definitely watching it again to relive all those moments and figure that one out too. I never write comments on these sites. A+

    Still Small Voices is a Wonderful Step in the Right Direction for LMN!

    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!

    Must See

    I thought this movie was excellent....it was basically a one-woman show, and Catherine Bell didn't disappoint! The twists, turns and surprises kept you guessing, and the way the movie wrapped things up and resolved itself was very well done.

    The rest of the cast was excellent, and this is one movie I'll watch over and over.

    The range of emotions shown in this movie took the viewer on a complete roller-coaster ride, the person you thought was the "bad" guy really wasn't, it just kept you guessing the entire time. The mind is a complex machine, and the way our minds heal & try to protect us, but then can play tricks on us, well that's pretty much what the movie was all about!
