Strange Voices

About This Movie

The tone is heavy, almost suffocating at times, as it captures the disintegration of a family under stress. The pacing feels deliberate, giving you room to really stew in the emotions. The performances are raw and unpolished, which oddly adds to the realism – you can really feel the weight they carry. The practical effects aren’t flashy, but they serve the narrative well.
