Captivating and enigmatic, "Sound of My Voice" shows that you can effectively rack an audience's mind with a micro-budget. While many of the strange details and set-ups are left open ended, it's the kind of film that will you have talking with others trying to fill in the blanks long after you've seen it. In some ways, they plant more details than necessary in what seems to be an attempt to confuse the audience and test their attention.Overall, the actors in the film do a great job (especially Marling) and it proves to be a promising directorial debut for Zal Batmanglij. If you want something that also pulls at the mind emotionally, I would recommend "Another Earth".

If you are into films that are original and make you think as you leave the theater, this is the film to see while it is still in theaters. Christopher Denham and Nicole Vicius portray a couple attempting to infiltrate and expose a cult led by Brit Marling's Maggie but find themselves in too deep.The film, presented with little back story and minor music cues leaves only the actors and scenes to bring the emotion and interest. All the actors do a good job with the material and if you go with the scenario being presented it's quite engrossing. The end result is a film that forces the viewer to do some of the heavy lifting to determine if Maggie is who she says she is or if it is all a scam.

** This review may contain spoilers for a movie that might not even be worth watching.Filled with dull and slow scenes. There was one I had to speed up because I knew exactly how it would end, and what I didn't know wasn't that interesting. This movie can be resumed in a sentence. A woman that claims comes from the future might be telling the truth, the end. There is nothing in between that is worth talking about, nothing stands out. The premise and the idea have been done properly in other movies. This isn't a must watch by any means. Doesn't answer questions, and worse of all, doesn't really leave you with anything. It isn't even interesting.
