Plot Summary
Spectacularly photographed in Australia and hauntingly atmospheric in theme, Till Human Voices Wake Us teams Guy Pearce (Memento, L.A. Confidential) and Helena Bonham Carter (Fight Club, The Wings of the Dove) in a compelling supernatural romance. Pearce plays Dr. Sam Franks, an emotionally troubled psychologist who is traveling home to bury his father in the small Australian town where he was raised. It is an emotional journey that forces him to confront the memories of a long-ago summer that ended in tragedy - an incident that continues to torment him in his adult life. During the journey, he encounters Ruby (Carter), a beautiful, mysterious young woman with a secret past. Is Ruby real? Or is she a ghost - a manifestation - that Sam has created to allow him to say goodbye to a heartbreaking passage in his life?

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Petroni takes the poem at face value, turning diaphanous literary imagery opaque and literal in the love song of Sam Franks.
Rotten: All the intelligence and sincerity behind the camera and the talent in front of it, Till Human Voices Wake Us stays emotionally mired because of a static screenplay that fails to express its issues dramatically.
Rotten: Despite being well acted and sweetly moving when it strips down to the tender poem at its heart, Till Human Voices Wake Us spends too much time playing to an otherworldly suspense that simply isn't there.
Rotten: I'd recommend you actively or passively forget this one.

This movie looks interesting although the sexual content looks abit graphic otherwise I really want to see it cause I love Helena. BTW amerigaw- Helena Bonham Carter is one of the most talented actresses of our generation, she never plays the same role twice so the real question is: WHO WOULDN'T HIRE HELENA?
are you kidding?

excuse me
who WOULD'NT hire helena bonham carter
