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!

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.

Title (Brazil): "Vozes do Passado" ("Voices from the Past")

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!

We all know that Catherine Bell is one of the top most beautiful women on TV but I think what people don't realize is what an amazing and gifted actress she is too. Catherine gave a performance that will make you stand up and take notice of what a truly talented and terrific actress this young woman is. She keeps you riveted to the screen the entire movie in Still Small Voices-- you would be afraid to blink because you thought you might miss something... the plot was so suspenseful and the ending was something that made you say huh? This movie is so worth watching-- if you haven't seen it yet, see it. And even if you don't think the movie sounds intriguing enough, then at least tune in to see the acting performance that Catherine gives. She will not and does not disappoint. NEW: I watched SSV again (last week) and it honestly has to be the best movie on TV I have ever had the pleasure of watching. It has everything that you would want in a movie--the emotions are a roller-coaster. Great great movie and again a TERRIFIC performance by Catherine Bell!!! Btw to see more of Catherine's amazing acting, watch Army Wives!! Will not disappoint!!

Excellent! Totally unexpected, this movie has it all. This is my first comment on a movie, but I enjoyed it so much, it deserved all the credit it can get. I am not often moved by movies, but all of us watching tonight could not hold back the tears at the end of this movie. Believable characters, excellent acting and a great story with a very different twist. Don't leave the room as you must follow carefully or you will miss the plot. It is not hard to stay put, as the pace is fast and filled with riveting action. The story was planned, told and wrapped up neatly into a great ending. Thoroughly entertaining and congratulations to everyone involved with this little movie.
