Lae L. @laemonaee Sep 26 it’s a very great movie even though the whole movie is just about getting calls everyone needed someone to talk to , to feel heard and had a story to tell very interesting i loved it! See more Melissa M 01/17/2025 Watch until the end. I watched the first 60 minutes and was falling asleep--I was so bored, I cut it off. BUT, I really wanted to give it a chance, so the next night I finished it, and the end was surprisingly good! The calls individually may not have been wildly entertaining, but the moral/point of the movie was thought provoking and I appreciated it. As a parent of a teen/young adult child who struggles with suicide ideation, depression, and anxiety, I had to take a step back and look at the film from a different lense. It was then, I felt sorry for the callers and the protagonist, "Beth" (Tessa T.), and again really appreciated the lesson here, that life is worth living. I would probably not watch it again, but it had an overall good point and I would suggest giving it a chance. See more tia 01/15/2025 This film to me is outstanding, It’s got a compassionate feel, I think that there’s a lot of symbolism, the level of understanding portrayed is good, the different perspectives and circumstances each caller is experiencing and expressing. I was honestly really shocked by the rating I thought it would be much higher. See more Hans C 01/03/2025 Not everyone will be able to appreciate this film. If you’ve been through anxiety, depression, a hard situation, it will hit differently. Tessa makes an excellent job See more Stephen P 11/21/2024 The first episode was so promising and I thought I was going to be hooked. Unfortunately this then descends into a lot of poorly constructed nonsense. The story line scrambles to create a credible ending to what started off so well. By the end I no longer cared about any of the characters and just wanted it to come to an end. The ending itself was poor in the extreme. Such a waste of some great acting talent. See more Stan H 10/26/2024 Thought this would be one of those movies where the operator on an emergency call line spends the entire movie trying to help out someone on the other end in a desperate situation. It's not that. This help line worker on a night shift has to interact with a bunch of callers with very different problems. So, we see her and we just hear the voices of her callers. Those faceless actors do a very good job of acting. Small film, but interesting and entertaining. See more Read all reviews
