These horrendous posters don't do justice to this beautiful film.
"Voice from the Stone" is a mystery/drama with a gorgeous gothic atmosphere and a little touch of horror. Emilia Clarke is excellent as the main character, an young nurse called Verena, with her expressive face, especially the eyebrows, and natural charm.
The production, direction and cinematography are great. This castle in Tuscany used for the filming is a dream scenery and they know how to take advantage from it.
Normally I would be upset if a movie wasted so much time with characters just wandering, visiting every hidden room, tower and subterranean mausoleum before the first answers start to show up. But here every shot is like a painting!

Emilia Clarke must really want to be a caretaker

The expressive Emilia Clarke is a delight to look at and delivers a strong lead performance and director Eric D. Howell does a competent enough job at creating a nice Gothic atmosphere, but for a slow-burn suspense piece, Voice from the Stone unfortunately isn't suspenseful enough to justify being a slow-burner.

Catching this before it leaves Shudder. It's stunningly shot with gorgeous location and set pieces but my god what a snooze fest. Despite its good production values, the film fails in pretty much everything else, resulting in a pretentious and bland gothic horror. I get that it's supposed to be a meditation on grief but it's not successful. The story is weak, rarely intriguing, and predictable. There's too many unconvincing characters and not enough mystery or tension to create any sort of engagement. It also feels very sluggish. The first half does too little for too long and by the second half it rushes along without bringing any suspense or emotional moment along the way. Don't even waste your time.

Upon her sudden illness and death, the young son of a renowned pianist refuses to speak, forcing his father (Marton Csokas) to call on a psychiatrist (Emilia Clarke) for answers. Arriving at the expansive Tuscan castle flanked by an abandoned quarry, she believes it a case of a child's mind conceptualizing loss, but the longer she stays the more the stone envelops...
Glacially paced gothic melodrama flirting with horror but never satisfyingly embracing its tropes like Night of the Demon (1957) or Haunted (1995). Adapted from a novel, its quiet ambiguity likely reads better than director Eric D. Howell's still pleasantly accomplished efforts. Clarke used this as a refresher from her impersonal experience with Terminator: Genisys (2015) and her performance compels just enough through a story that only gives breadcrumbs. Not to spoil but entering from the angle of every event occurring through power of will might provide a better experience. Watched via Momentum's DVD.

A wholly ineffective film that casts Emilia Clarke as some kind of child whisperer, who can supposedly heal psychologically wounded children, but then refuses to show us how she achieves this, or what qualifies her to be so highly sought after. Her interactions with young Jakob, who has been mute since the death of his mother, are laughable in their ineptness, which amount to little more than her asking him about his feelings and then lamenting what a difficult case he is. It's all just wheel-spinning and time wasting, though, lumbering on to a ridiculous ending that is neither earned or satisfying. Far from the gothic horror film the hype seemed to suggest, Voice From The Stone cashes in on the promise of its title by successfully capturing the experience one has talking to a brick wall.

...further evidence that i will support everything and anything with emilia clarke

I have a theorie about this movie. Emilia Clarke's character from Me Before You found a time machine and travelled back to the 1950's of Tuscany and changed her name to Verena. Why? Because she freaking loves to be a caretaker. And now she's traveling through time and space to find people to take care of. She started an unintended franchise. Tales Of The Caretaker: Voice From The Stone...
Now, the movie itself is quite uneven in it's tone. Is it trying to be a thriller? A horror movie? Or a romantic drama? All of these elements have been in this movie. But they don't match together as a whole. The first half is really long and pretty boring. Nothing…
-
The only reason this got recognition was because of Emilia Clarke who is from Game Of Thrones, it's a really uninteresting thriller that tries way too many ideas at once and just doesn't get its point across. Also how many more movies is Emilia Clarke gonna play a caretaker?

The first half or so, until Verena starts posing for the sculpture, is intriguing, or maybe I just have a love for huge old mansions where secrets can hide in dark family crypts. I guess I get why Verena started changing, but it still felt so sudden. As a result, I wasn't much into it by the end. You change the setting to somewhere more mundane and I would even go so far as to say I was bored with the slow direction and lack of payoff.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Follows the gothic formula pretty well, but without any defining flair of its own, unfortunately (well, except for that manor, maybe; that red ivy is stunning). A little Rebecca here, a little Turn of the Screw there, bits and pieces of other gothic tales peppered throughout. Of course the grandma is dead; she's never in any other scenes with any other characters besides Verena (Emilia Clarke), a very old by-the-book ghost trope. They don't really try to maintain the mystery of any of it.
That one woman must essentially die for another to live is pretty tired. Time to take the gothic formula and create a new narrative. Y'all can start by giving women these projects to helm. We invented gothic romance like this (yes, we fucking did; we invented science fiction, too). It belongs to us. Until we are the ones telling these stories again, they'll never reach their true potential.
This was a very different film that I'm used to watching, and to be honest, I only watched it for Emilia Clarke.
I've never seen a film from her and ever since I heard she was going to be in the untitled han solo film I got interested in her. I know she's from Game of Thrones, and I only seen like 30 minutes of Me Before You, so when I saw that this movie was a 99 cent rental I decided to rent it. It was a pretty good film, Emilia's performance was fantastic, it was nice to see her character/the movie to take a crazy turn in the third half I was literally going "WHAT IS HAPPENING?!" the entire time. |
