[
SOUND OF MY VOICE opens in Cleveland on Friday May 25th exclusively at the Cedar Lee Theatre.]
Review by Pamela Zoslov
Brit
Marling, the willowy blond economics graduate who turned down a
career at Goldman Sachs to become an actress, is the co-writer and
star of SOUND OF MY VOICE,
an absorbing low-budget thriller about a cult leader (played by
Marling) who claims that she comes from the future. Marling taught
herself to write because she reasoned it was the only way she could
get good roles. She previously wrote and starred in the well regarded
2011 sci-fi drama ANOTHER
EARTH.
SOUND
OF MY VOICE was
originally conceived as a ten-part webisode, and for that reason,
there remain a few loose plot threads. Nonetheless, it is a tense,
suspenseful drama with a tantalizingly ambiguous story, atmospheric
cinematography by Rachel Morrison and haunting music by indie rocker
Rostam Batmaglij (the brother of the film's director and co-writer,
Zal Batmaglij).
