This film sucks on so many levels. If there is a story it takes so damned long to evolve that you're prone to losing the plot trying to keep tit in your numb brain. The acting is dreadful, except maybe the child, whose daughter is 20 years older than her, wtf? There was no music that I could recall except some excruciating 'song from the future'. A gun is drawn and at last I thought thee might have been some thrill. Wrong, yet another pointless scene. The secret sign made me cringe and reminded me of some childish fantasy, but way too tedious and stupid for a child to make up. The director should take up tiddly winks, might give his life some meaning.

Let me begin by saying the movie was great throughout. It's original, thought provoking, and you are always suspenseful throughout the whole movie, guessing as to what could come next. For the budget it was made on, the movie looked quite professional, with great acting as well. But one of the big problems I noticed people had with this film was the plot holes, the missing details. Luckily, these aren't huge gaping holes that make the main story confusing, just details like why the child was acting so strange. There are two ways you could look at this though. You could see it as the directors being lazy and not explaining everything, or you could see it as the directors purposely leaving out those details, making you actively think about the video. I tend to think the latter, especially in this case. People said that inception was confusing too, but that's what made it so much better then your average movie. Rarely does a flick ever come along that makes you think instead on just passively watching a TV screen, and this is one of them.

As for the Film itself it is not great. Very slow and kinda boring. Reading other reviews of this film there seems to be a lot or in most cases too much thought put into the ending. ******Spoilers and my own take on the films ending coming up so turn back now if you have not watched it ******* OK so here it goes. This is what the film is about for me. It is a pretty simple take and what i thought of straight away as i watched the film. There is no time travel nonsense. Maggie is a nut job. Wanted by the law and on the run. She set all of this up to kidnap and get her daughter back. Yes i think abigail was her daughter. Abigail's parents got divorced and the dad got custody. The reason how abigail knew the handshake is cause maggie her mother taught it to her when she was younger. Maybe her dad still uses it with her. we don't know. Abigail cant remember her moms face cause she was too young. . Thats it film was rubbish.

I'm not sure what film the other reviewers watched, but without a doubt the worst film I have ever seen. Week characters, incredibly weak story line, with a last minute attempt to pull it together, which failed to raise any interest. The cinematography was the only redeeming feature and that is being kind, struggling desperately for something nice to say. Low budget maybe but reminiscent of a 13 year old's first attempt at a story. I have never head an entire cinema groan at the end of a film before, but now I can say I've heard it all! Avoid like the plague unless, you have money you wish to waste and a need to hide in the dark for an hour and a bit. Aggrieved Surrey, UK.

I could spend 3hrs writing a review on how many holes there are in this movie. The acting is sub-par and the plot is beyond terrible. Do yourself a favour and shove a fork in your eyes before "viewing" this movie it may actually improve it. The bland, jittery visual "realism" can't counteract overheated performances of tin-eared dialogue, which strain for pulp but often land at soap.Holds your attention for a while, but fails to build much suspense as it races toward a predictable climax. It probably would have worked better as a series of Webisodes, which reportedly was the original plan.In the end, the film doesn't add up to much of anything, but its individual parts are sometimes greater than its whole.

Having seen "Another Earth" and "The East" in which Brit Marling is both the star and a co-author (plus "Arbitrage" where she just has a support part), I wanted to see "Sound Of My Voice" which she co-wrote at the same time as "Another Earth" and again provides her with a leading role. As with "The East", the other co-writer and director is her friend Zal Batmanglij and, as with "Another Earth" and "THe East". she was also a co-producer. Clearly Marling is a bright and ambitious actress who is not going to wait for good roles to be offered to her, but determined to craft them herself. "Sound Of My Voice" was always going to have a limited appeal, since it is so incredibly low budget and markedly slow, but I found it original and mesmerising as it tells the story of Maggie who is either a visitor from the future with some important insights and messages or a complete fraud who is creating a dangerous cult. Out to expose her are Peter (Christopher Denham) and Lorna (Nicole Vicius) who want to make a revelatory documentary but find that Maggie is harder to read and to expose than they imagined. It is a pleasure to find a plot that is different and thought-provoking and Marling is definitely a woman to watch.
