The Sound of My Voice

Brit Marling

Interesting take on cults by the writer of Another Earth.

We follow a couple who secretly join and tape a cult built around a woman who claims to be from the future. This played like an over-extended Twilight Zone episode and would have packed more punch if it ran 45 minutes or so. Still it was engrossing and featured an end sequence that justified the time spent.

BM also stars and easily commands the screen. She's talented but may need to find a writing collaborator to bring her films up into the higher ranks. As is there are some good ideas but her films lack the zing they need to be really compelling.
