6/10
Beautifully boring
2 August 2003
"Till Human Voices Wake Us" tells two parallel stories at the same time, interleaving scenes. The first is of a man (Pearce) returning to his boyhood home in Australia to bury his father and, with the help of a mysterious woman (Bonham Carter), bittersweet memories of his childhood. The second story shows us the boy and the events which created the memories which haunt the man. Beautifully filmed but tediously told and wholly unsatisfying, this lovely bit of tripe treads the paranormal having left itself nowhere else to go. (C+)
