ws_tgs I am gobsmacked that someone is so twisted thought that this was a good message to people, there is no way that they understand how health clinics work and that its already difficult enough for them to make a choice without feeling ostracized or scared for their life. Jesse is incredibly unstable and lies, judges and causes nothing but pain for others. What better way for a movie about pro choice and how a woman feels than to have it directed, produced and starring mainly men, and I guess the term Voiceless refers to having the women have little to no lines. I hate that I saw this movie, I hate that it exists and I hate the people behind it, never do this again!

Vlad_Imirivan Dismiss the trolls, at least they were "kind" enough to contribute '1' point out of 10. Though,.. tread carefully. An overheated tone and characters' questionable tactics in the struggle against abortion undercut the obviously good intentions behind the pro-life drama.While it's clearly meant to serve as a cinematic rallying cry for the protection of the innocent, the film instead runs the risk of reinforcing the stereotype of irate, crusading picketers collaring women in vulnerable situations.Writer-director Pat Necerato's protagonist is Jesse Dean (Rusty Joiner), a former Special Forces soldier, "self-taught in theology," who runs an inner-city Philadelphia church's outreach center where he teaches boxing. A new arrival in what the movie portrays as a dysfunctional City of Brotherly Love, Jesse is understandably dismayed to find an abortion mill operating across the street.Previously uninvolved in the political controversy, but with a personal stake in the issue shared by his wife, Julia, Jesse works to get his fellow parishioners mobilized to shutter the place.The pastor, Gil. is opposed to this type of activism. But Jesse is spurred on by his Scottish-born neighbour, Elsie. Elsie's husband helped found the church but she has ceased to worship there because of the proximity of evil across the way.Angry exchanges ensue. After he learns that a woman who had an abortion at the facility has committed suicide, for instance, Jesse rushes into the building, which has unrealistically ineffective security, heatedly confronting the receptionist at the front desk.Matters escalate with an incident in which an abortion advocate turns up with a pistol, threatens everyone. Despite the heightened stakes, Jesse perseveres in his efforts, assuring Julia, "This is what God would want."Viewers committed to the sanctity of human life will sympathize with Jesse's frustration and outrage. Yet, just as the movie centering on him seems unlikely to change the minds of the misguided about this sorrowful topic, so too his approach to the moral horror of legal killing, while admirable for its fervor and persistence, lacks reflection and prayerfulness.

kajsdm This film disgusts me. The statistics in it are made up, the main opinion, that criticises women who decide what to do with THEIR body, is given by a man, who won't ever get pregnant, and the film is shot awfully as well. I could write a ridiculously long review on how insulting this film is, but just take it from me, don't watch this. If you really do have a burning desire to know just how bad it is, watch the Cinema Snob's review.

cwjohnsonjr Voiceless is a powerfully performed and well crafted story. The cinematography is moody, although occasionally fluctuations in the tint made it hard to look at the screen, the acting is decent, the characters are developed (human and not saints), and the screenplay is soul searching and thought provoking rather than preachy and feel-good. There were some problems with the sound at time that was distracting, but this is a low- budget film. One of the most powerfully characters, both in symbol and acting, was the Irish neighbor, although her background story was a little puzzling. Where was her father's church located when he fought for civil rights? Why is her accent so strong after living in Philadelphia for 50 years? However, these problems do not distract from a story that keeps moving, characters that grow, and a plot that thickens. I highly recommend you checkout Voiceless at your local theater.
