Sometimes engaging, sometimes clunky.

Petroni may have chosen to move the plot along at a snail's pace to reflect the mood of Prufrock's poem, but there isn't enough lyricism in the film to save the story.

When it's over, Till Human Voices Wake Us is easily forgotten.

| Original Score: C- | Apr 26, 2003

There's not quite enough mystery here, and no amount of pretty pastoral settings can make up for that.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 18, 2003

Petroni, in his first feature directing job, turns a good idea into a slow-paced metaphysical miasma.

| Original Score: C | Apr 17, 2003

It may not make much sense, but it's pretty seductive.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Apr 7, 2003

The film strives to be poetic, but it exposes nothing especially moving or relevant. Rather, the engaging leads wander around like actors lost in an ill-fated exercise in subtext.

| Apr 4, 2003

The movie fails to find a satisfying way to balance the stories, and Pearce's mannered performance doesn't help us enter into his elliptical journey.

It'll take a lot of energy -- and even more patience -- for anyone to get through Till Human Voices Wake Us without yawning at least once.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 4, 2003

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 4, 2003

What aims to be dreamlike plays more like sleepwalking, and what is meant to be dark and brooding becomes gray and plodding.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 4, 2003

You're left wondering 'What if?,' as in 'What if the filmmaker had found a way to reconcile his two storylines into a cohesive whole?'

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 30, 2003

If Petroni wanted to leave viewers with a mixed interpretation, he succeeded.

It's telling just how uninvolving Till Human Voices Wake Us is that by film's end, you'll just be relieved it's over.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 28, 2003

A real snooze.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 26, 2003

A turgid, pretentious piece of work that may have played well on the page, but is too heavy and slow-moving to work on the big screen.
