A woman watches time passing next to the suitcases of her ex-lover (who is supposed to come pick them up, but never arrives) and a restless dog who doesn鈥檛 understand that his master has abandoned him.

Critics Consensus

The Human Voice unites Pedro Almod贸var and Tilda Swinton for a short film whose rich rewards are belied by its abbreviated length.

Swinton's performance is just absolutely riveting...

Peter Bradshaw

Guardian

An elegant jeu d'茅sprit from Alm贸dovar, with a bleak hint that moving on from the present malaise will mean some kind of wholesale destruction.

Rated: 4/5 •

Financial Times

Swinton is the centrepiece - the human voice of this witty, teasing movie and the human pulse as well.

Even after this ended I still have so many questions鈥his was very interesting and kept me on my toes for all 30 mins. This was a short that actually worked for me as a short. It was beautifulllyyyyy shot and well done across the eerie score, emotional ups and downs, impressively long monologue, and Tilda鈥檚 performance.聽

The Whining would be a more honest title. I could only take ~15min of this actor's 茅tude, set in a single building with a single (human) actor. I don't believe this is something a general audience could enjoy, despite admittedly great acting.

This film has a Wes Anderson sense of visuals, brilliant music and a finite tight script. The camera work creates a sense of suspense with slow zooms and unsettling symmetry. Every beat of the film is perfectly crafted and colors warm and warn you of the coming danger. Wrap up your ax and get ready for a first rate film.
