Funny, charming and with good music. The story of two different brothers working in a restaurant. This is one of those movies that's great to catch on TV during a weekend and not knowing what to expect. It opens very comedic and lighthearted and slowly drifts and becomes more serious and dramatic as the run-time vanishes. I found it to be very touching to be honest. The older brother helping the younger and the younger having his psychological disorder. The acting is very good in this, especially in the second half, but over all it was good. The romance may put some people off thinking it's clichéd. It may seem, but it goes in different directions and it's all handled very realistically. Either way it's nice to see the troubled main character find happiness after being under treatment for so long. The scenes in the restaurant were fun and I liked the dialogue and the back and forth banter between characters. You could say it's like "Chef" but with a recovering schizophrenic being the one working with the Chef instead of John Leguizamo. It's an easy watch I'd say. If you wanna see a comedy with some heart and maybe some dramatic moments, then you can lean back and give this a watch. I thought the ending lifted the movie up even more and made the whole thing even better. Well, those are some thoughts or maybe some voices? OK, maybe I shouldn't end on a joke. Either way, check it out if you can.

I love the funny yet realistic portraying Ray who is clever, playful yet always thinking and searching for an answer. He is playful and childlike while vulnerable when is in a confused state. The film shows how normal someone may appear but you never know their anguish and confusion and this film show it so effectively without being patronising. You do feel for Pete who is trying to pull him together and losing his rags at times. His love interest Laura being a tough girl isn't afraid of talking straight to him and love him for who he is. This would be a perfect film for charities who wants to explain mental health .

I picked this to watch after checking the trailer on prime. I was drawn to watch this based on the cast which is impressive for what would have been a lowish budget UK production. The trailer does give a false impression however, the tone of this is mainly upbeat with some periods of drama. What marks this out as something potentially special is that this is a story about how an individual with mental health issues affects the lives of those around them. Usually this is a minor concern as the focus tends to be on the suffering of the person with the illness. Families tend to be ignored. It's a fairly straightforward and realistic story about a man leaving a psychiatric hospital and struggling to cope with a job and relationship. Everything is fine until he decides to stop using his medication, which is a very common problem with psychotic disorders, due to the side effects. The only real complaint about this in terms of realism is that Daniel Craig looks far too healthy and normal for the majority of the film. I think many people will have missed this when it was released, however on the strength of the cast quite a few will be tempted to watch this slightly unusual love story.

A treat. Daniel Craig is outstanding and the whole production and storyline is very well crafted.

What a great little find! Minimal actors, low budget, authentic portrayals of a relatable situation. A brilliant performance by Daniel Craig, my favourite kind before taking on the role that would forever define him.

I've watched two films tonight back to back; Ken Loach's Ladybird Ladybird and now Some voices. What a double bill and compelling evidence that British film is wonderful. Daniel Craig is Ray, recently released from a psychiatric hospital. He meets the lovely Glaswegian girl Laura (Kelly Macdonald) and is so happy he thinks he no longer needs his medication. His brother (Scouser David Morrissey with a very strange and to be honest sometimes offputting Southern accent) looks after him through thick and thin. Blood is thicker than water and all that. A beautiful story of love and humanity against the backdrop of mental illness. A moving 8 out of ten

I only saw the last hour of this film but it is an excellent insight into mental illness, as well as the urban jungle of London (west London and Acton/Shepherds Bush, in particular). Daniel Craig is brilliant (never heard of him before) as the mixed up man who visits and stays with his brother and frequents his quaint little bistro in the high street. Lots of Godard-style jump cuts and freeze-frames, presumably to mimic the mind of a schizophrenic, accompanied by a fine soundtrack. Another great little motif is having all the characters live or work next to very busy thoroughfares - Ray's brother (Peter Macdonald) of course lives on the third floor at the same level as the flyover about 50 feet away, with constant motion and noise. The film even features cooking lessons at the end, as Ray is quietly rehabilitated, ironically set and filmed in the hinterland of Jamie Oliver, the original 'naked chef' on BBC tv who is always shown at some point traversing these same streets on his Italian moped (always wearing a crash helmet, of course!). Daniel Craig is more authentic as he's seen naked in the street during a crisis. The film's quite emotional, too, especially the kitchen arson scene where Dave is visibly concerned.

Some Voices centres on Ray (Craig) and his release from a psychiatric hospital. His rehabilation starts fairly well, with Ray working for his protective brother Pete (Morrissey) in a restaurant. However, when Ray falls head over heels in love with Laura (McDonald), a wild Scottish girl, and stops taking his medication, matters spiral out of control. Directorial debutant Simon Cellan Jones has effectively captured the colour (mostly grimy) and energy of Shepherds Bush. However, this is an actors piece and as such Craig and McDonald shine. Especially, McDonald who brings a natural warmth to a difficult role. Ultimately, both a disturbing and rewarding film, but don't expect any belly laughs or easy answers.

There are elements of depression, PTSD and of course hearing voices in this film which makes it pretty realistic. Daniel Craig and Kelly Mc Donald are excellent in their roles and work off each other perfectly. There is a great chemistry between them. The brotherly relationship is also vital to show the support between each other. Overall a film well acted with a real meaning behind it, hence 9 out of 10
