This one-woman show may be thin, but the voice acting and Thompson’s leading performance overcome the limitations of Buscemi’s claustrophobic film.
One of the most important aspects of good mental health is being able to understand yourself and the things that would contribute to your well-being. Some people find difficulty in self-soothing when it comes to things like anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Others find it challenging to speak up even to those close to them because that means there’s a recognition of a problem, and perhaps more frightening, a realization that they can’t face it alone.
This is a film about one simple human emotion: Empathy. Through the various conversations had throughout, we are never privy to the identities of these people. Yet, Alessandro Camon’s script almost requires us to not care. Of course, with never being able to see these characters who call in to the hotline, there’s a disconnect that is only expanded by the actors’ abilities to convey their characters’ emotions. However, they all do an exceptional job delivering their key messages.
