Melissa M Watch until the end. I watched the first 60 minutes and was falling asleep--I was so bored, I cut it off. BUT, I really wanted to give it a chance, so the next night I finished it, and the end was surprisingly good! The calls individually may not have been wildly entertaining, but the moral/point of the movie was thought provoking and I appreciated it. As a parent of a teen/young adult child who struggles with suicide ideation, depression, and anxiety, I had to take a step back and look at the film from a different lense. It was then, I felt sorry for the callers and the protagonist, "Beth" (Tessa T.), and again really appreciated the lesson here, that life is worth living. I would probably not watch it again, but it had an overall good point and I would suggest giving it a chance. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/25 Full Review Audience Member This film to me is outstanding, It’s got a compassionate feel, I think that there’s a lot of symbolism, the level of understanding portrayed is good, the different perspectives and circumstances each caller is experiencing and expressing. I was honestly really shocked by the rating I thought it would be much higher. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review Hans C Not everyone will be able to appreciate this film. If you’ve been through anxiety, depression, a hard situation, it will hit differently. Tessa makes an excellent job Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/06/25 Full Review Stephen P The first episode was so promising and I thought I was going to be hooked. Unfortunately this then descends into a lot of poorly constructed nonsense. The story line scrambles to create a credible ending to what started off so well. By the end I no longer cared about any of the characters and just wanted it to come to an end. The ending itself was poor in the extreme. Such a waste of some great acting talent. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Stan H Thought this would be one of those movies where the operator on an emergency call line spends the entire movie trying to help out someone on the other end in a desperate situation. It's not that. This help line worker on a night shift has to interact with a bunch of callers with very different problems. So, we see her and we just hear the voices of her callers. Those faceless actors do a very good job of acting. Small film, but interesting and entertaining.
