I was sure this movie would be embarrassing for me to watch and full of clichés, artificial angst and lonely seriousness. The story captured me slowly and subtly as I surprised myself by understanding and relating to the differences in the passions and motivations of the characters. While the tensions and suspicions between Anneken and Goldrich developed and transformed, I could see through the outside efforts into the hearts of these two characters, into multi-levels and conflicts within. Seriousness is balanced with a bit of humor, although I thought there could have been additional humorous scenes inserted. Two Voices is not one-sided, and the story consistently exposes our efforts to be free amidst difference. Is that a cliché?
