      A Still Small Voice

      Released Nov 24, 2023 1 hr. 33 min. Documentary List
      92% 26 Reviews Tomatometer In most US hospitals, alongside medical responses to illness and injury, lesser-known interventions take place every day. Responding to patients, family members and hospital staff who are experiencing spiritual and emotional distress, chaplains sit at bedsides, helping people to deepen connections with themselves, one another, and a world beyond this one. A STILL SMALL VOICE follows Mati, a chaplain completing a year-long residency at New York City's Mount Sinai Hospital, as she learns to provide spiritual care to people confronting profound life changes. Following his acclaimed 2019 film MIDNIGHT FAMILY, director Luke Lorentzen digs into Mati's spiritual work as an entry point to explore how we seek meaning in suffering, uncertainty, and grief. Through Mati's experiences with her patients, her struggle with professional burnout, and her own spiritual questioning, we gain new perspectives on how meaningful connection can be and how painful its absence is. As Mati and her patients take stock of their lives and experiences, space opens up to reflect on our own. Read More Read Less

      Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) A very powerful film about a profession we don't think much about. Nov 29, 2023 Full Review Monica Castillo RogerEbert.com A tender portrait of an underseen group among a hospital’s many departments. Rated: 3/4 Nov 10, 2023 Full Review Amy Nicholson New York Times The holy water is in a Styrofoam cup. Somewhere, a door slams. It’s human and messy — and it’s divine. Nov 10, 2023 Full Review Ben Shehadi Film Threat Although sincere and well-crafted, the repetitive lethargy of A Still Small Voice would perform much better in a short art film, not a full-length feature. Rated: 5/10 Feb 15, 2024 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice A portrait of radical empathy practiced by chaplains in the pastoral care department of a New York hospital. Rated: 5/5 Dec 24, 2023 Full Review Jose Solís National Catholic Reporter Lorentzen doesn't turn anyone into victims or heroes; he merely observes, creating devastatingly beautiful tableaux that often highlight how impersonal death in America would be without people like Engel and Fleenor.
